Yes, a good article addrressing important subjects. I would like to emphasize that the challenge of SocialHub represents the same challenge faced by the fediverse at large. The "there is no shared vision" is one of major fediverse challenges I identified in 2022.
The paradox of decentralization is that the further things decentralize the more we have to rely on quality technology standards to facilitate that. The social landscape we want is one where inclusive progressive and forward-looking movements can freely interact and engage, and express themself. So decentralization, where people can be who they want to be, and a culture that fosters cohesion and unison that binds and unites, offers safe places for belonging, creative spaces for collaboration and cocreation.
Such is the original promise of the ActivityPub protocol. To provide the robust technical foundations and interoperability that leads us into the future of social networking.
This promise will not be met, unless we solve the paradox and learn to collaborate more effectively beyond the scope of our own direct initiatives. I joined SocialHub as facilitator in 2019 to gain first-hand experience with the difficult grassroots fediverse environment. And found along the way that "community" is an inadequate organization form to support of the end-to-end development lifecycle at an ecosystem level. And that in fact no organization form existed that was a good match for our chaotic fediverse environment. This I made the focus of my current activities at Social coding commons: elaborating a chaordic organization formula for a sustainable social web that is able to evolve.

In this organization form autonomous and independent parties within the grassroots ecosystem are able to cocreate and exchange services in a commons based value economy. Instead of unsustainable FOSS, they evolve Sustainable open social systems (SOSS), where Sustainability-at-all-times is key.
