Preventing enshittification of platforms rests on credible exit for users and devs. #ActivityPub and #SMTP are not perfect but
a) are implemented und understood by many players,
b) enable freedom of choice of servers and clients,
c) implement #RightToMigrate as well as self/community custody
Many #p2p projects promise to remove servers but often promote and depend on a single implementation stack, have no spec and no interop among #p2p islands, and thus struggle to provide credible exit.

or perhaps the server which hosts an instance (mastodon for example) can be somehow democratized so that all of it's users have a say in the decisions usually made by the admin or moderator 🤔

But already today, #webxdc realtime apps eg at https://delta.chat/en/2024-11-20-webxdc-realtime#pixel-app-small-offline-first-and-realtime are using @n0iroh and thus offer a private #p2p network. Here, the rather reliable #SMTP server network is used to bootstrap lots of little private P2P ones consisting of unstable peers. Without this bootstrapping you need central root servers along with DHTs or other mechanism for discovery.

It's better to suggest the nostr protocol because it is E2EE and designed to be censorship resistant.
