I think the fediverse needs to get ahead of this and work on an LLM can parse all the distributed social network protocols like ActivityPub, AT and Nostr, their extensions and anything else that comes along and package them with a good UX.
But seriously, I think that the biggest weakness to monolithic mass social media will be moderation. The compulsory human component makes it much harder and expensive to scale than any other aspect.

@chema @tokyo_0 @gr0k This is very true, and underlines how fundamental parts of democratic society only function if people actively participate in them.
Generous public grants could help make this easier, but this is at root a problem of social organisation.
I think this is a good problem for us to be faced with since it is part of the general problem of how to have a sustainable society, and it needs to be worked on.
How about going one step farther? The fediverse as a public utility, i.e. municipal instances. All roles performed by public employees, content policies determined openly, with full transparency.
If San Francisco had a municipal instance, I'd be on it in an instant, just like I am also on sfba.social. But I would still keep my single-user instances as well. No reason to not have multiple.
