MODERATORS
Makes sense, how would you resolve it without giving anyone centralized control to make Twitter or Reddit 2.0?
I think the best middle ground might be where there's a bunch of separate apps that all have their own default server, where they hide most of the fediverse complexity from the user. They'd still all be accessing the same content, but it would just be simpler for 'normal' users.
I think the point is to have the freedom available. Most people are going to get their email from GMail, but you have the freedom to get it somewhere else if you want to, and you can still send to and receive email from people using GMail. You can even roll your own mail server.
