     @evan I'm not sure the status quo of relying on volunteers is the best method: it can work, but there has to be supports and additional governance for ease of transition when things go sideways for communities and instances.

     Not sure what the solution is, but I'm looking forward to learning about what solutions are being tried across the #fediverse.

     Hence, qualified no.

     @evan qualified no.

     I know a question has to be simplified to be asked, but... governance is a whole lot more than the tools (registration selection) or organising entities (volunteer, dictators-for-life).

     It's one part cultural. Read: how do conflicts arise, and how are they addressed?

     It's also the hard question of financial sustainability: how do we make sure we have models that deliver, day after day, month after month, and year after year?

     And, finally, about how to manage loss.
