It's hard for me to keep up, so this may have been discussed extensively elsewhere, but...:
What kind of an organizational infrastructure is appropriate to support a long term replacement for gplus? For example, I could personally support a diaspora instance with perhaps a few dozen active users, using my personal funds and time. But that doesn't scale. Many of the efforts so far seem to be on an "if we build it they will come and the organizational infrastructure will evolve later" model.
Some kind of legal entity (corporation/foundation/trust) with an unlimited potential lifetime and a funding mechanism seems required. A governance mechanism to deal with bad actors, hopefully something other than autocracy, would be nice.
In a federated case this consideration applies to each instance individually, and to the overall software base. How do the various alternatives compare in this matter?
