I like the premise of sort of simplifying things a bit..but nowadays I'm not signing up for any centralized system/network if i can avoid it. For me, an important criteria would be if it can federate (that is, not be centralized), and additionally, ideally if i can self-host my own instance. Gone are the days where i blindly sign up for systems that are centralized. I should clarify that i'm by no means bashing the people behind this effort - kudos to them for trying new stuff! With no offense to them, I'm merely noting that if this effort were combined with the fediverse efforts, then it would interest me.
