Do you think a decentralized social media itches that itch enough while giving you a better system to use?

That's fair enough, Reddit has certainly went down hill, especially for people like me in the UK. Being asked for ID left right and center is terrible but the API stuff was hell as well.
What do you think you need more of on the Fediverse? As it's great as a smaller friendlier system but do you miss anything or want something more on here?
Public Institutions would be really cool it's one of things I'm trying to wrap around my head with running a local based instance. I want to bring into the fold some of the local councils, universities and small businesses while making sure people are the center of it. But yes Service updates should be coming to the Fediverse.
Content creation is a strange one as a lot of people often do it for money or at least don't want to loose a lot of money running there own PeerTube instance, while Loops is currently a little easier to get into it does beg to question how do we make sure people are spread across different instances instead of just loops.video along with how do we make already established creators feel like it's worth while to come to this platform over YouTube because a lot of motivation over there is financial.
Donations and Funding in general is certainly something that needs to be pushed more / shown off more. I know for my instance I want to take into account I can create physical products and ship them to people such as my custom stickers & fediverse stickers to help fund this instance. Often asking just for a donation is kinda strange for some people and they'd much rather move to somewhere that's bigger or other people donate so they don't have to. This world sucks especially if you can't / won't donate.
Posting more content onto Niche parts of the Fediverse is something I'm trying to do with some of my interests, the sad thing is a lot of people don't want to be the first or only person pushing things in a community, you somewhat need to interact and push for the type of content you want at the moment but it will all come together eventually.
