I share your concerns about the variety of issues with inclusion in the mentioned spaces. For me, framing the need for a centralised substrate for a decentralised network actually further accentuates how important those problems are.

For example: If there are 10 different forums to discuss FEPs, and a few of those forums are racist, than thats bad

If there is 1 forum for everyone to discuss FEPS, and that forum is racist, than thats extra bad

I consider the #FEP process as a "best-we-can-manage" at the moment. There is room for a ton of improvement in the grassroots standardization process. What I would be much in favor of is to see more organization around specific themes.

The FEP is nice but it is a random collection of bits and pieces collected as best-practices from across the ecosystem.

Examples of where decentralized ecosystems focus on specific use cases or verticles are #ForgeFed, Podcasting, and Forums.
