That looks nice. Let's get back to this once any of those services has reached the kind of maturity that a non-techie is willing to sign up and start building their network. I have no idea what needs to happen for that to become the reality, though.

Has the fediverse reached that level of maturity?
A single distributed network is more like twitter, instagram, or telegram. A federated network necessitates teaching about home servers, blacklists, server outages, etc.
I've heard from people that work on Activity Pub though that they are moving towards making things function in a more distributed way (portable accounts for example). So things seem to be converging in that direction regardless.
