no thanks. the more i read, the more this is an over-engineered nightmare not reallly offering any benefit for those nightmares.

barrier to instance entry is still deep, and reliant on a giant ex-twitter corporation to exist.

I’m not clear who the intended audience is here. A self-moderated micro-blogging platform is what most people needed all along, which is why the Fediverse exists. The real question remains how a corporate Fedi-protocol is going to interact with advertisers and marketers.
