One of the issues that P pointed out, was how to get a domain name without doxxing yourself. The question of how to get a domain name by using an anonymous form of cash/crypto.
Note that after the installation of The Biden, Jim of Jim's Blog had to change the domain name of his custom wordpress-style blog to https://blog.reaction.la/ from a different domain name.
We really need a more robust alternative to Fedi. I have enough financial resources to spin up instances on the scale of poast or FSE but I don't think I can do this anonymously very easily. Once I got doxxed then things would go south fast, of course.
The proper solution is "one node per account, every node decides who and what to block, the only person you can ban is yourself" but we aren't there yet.
PST and NCD are glowie operations; looking at the dox of the head of the former, he was revealed as a former software engineer for the Canadian government along with his brother. I would imagine a similar situation as applies to the admins of NCD.

Speaking of fedi instances.
I think what a decent fedi instance should have, is:
- Vertical image support (good for rocket posting and portraits). Which NAS, NCD, Poast possesses.
- Soapbox's ability to support multiple reacts instead of just liking posts. And an ability to quote-post. Ex. Spinster xyz, NCD, Poast, Gleasonator (the original soapbox instance), etc
- Mastodon's ability to track how popular a hashtag is. Ex. NAS, Merovingian, Mastodon itself, etc.
I wonder what Revolver FSE would look like?
