    When I say centralization I don’t mean letting a few control the many. This is what I mean.

    1. Figure out what the alternatives are for these sites we don’t need several Twitter alternatives.

    2. Each site needs a front page, Accessible on the Fediverse front page. This allows people to easily make an account.

    3. There should be one main site which will be the largest instance, people can edit the UI to feel how they like, but we need to allow communities to grow big.

    4. To safe guard against point 3, fund the sites with 100s or thousands of co-equal owners. Say you get 5K people donating $5 a week to each site, they each get 1 stock or piece of the “company” and now it prevents a reddit or twitter situation.

    5. The final thing, we need Fediverse user accounts, where once you make an account on 1 site you are automatically signed up to all of them and anyone can follow/subscribe and follow on all platforms, leading to a more cohesive biome

      1. No. There is no particular reason why there needs to be one (say) twitter alternative. Heck, there is not even a reason why there should be a alternative. Fediverse is allowed to be their own things.
      2. But each site already has their front page. See eg.: lemmy.dbzer0.com. Alternatively if you meant “each software”, that’s more-or-less what join-lemmy.org is doing.
      3. No but yes.
      4. I’m not sure that leads to where you think it leads to. That would require authenticating users financially, for one, else it becomes a dark pattern magnet for suckpuppeting.
      5. Mostly absolutely yes. I think I’ve seen it discussed a few times under “fediverse identity” or something like that.
