One thing I have been giving thought as well is that at the end of the day there is a still a central point of authority in any given instance. Which brings with it other issues such as possible liability in regards to content moderation as well the financial commitment. I think Mastodon federation only solves half the problem and the second half could be solved with a DAO as its underlying governance structure where the users themselves vote to agree on moderation rules as well as funding the operations of the instance.
