The Democratic Party needs to shrink the “big tent”.

Without giving it too much thought… yes.

…after a couple seconds of thought, I’m thinking of a fun but balkanized ecosystem of apps built around the open protocol, and later someone coming uo with a very polished and elegant client app that becomes very popular, and then the developer“embracing and extending” the protocol to create yet another walled garden fueled by VC and insatiable greed.

Which brings me back to, how do we prevent this cycle from repeating?

That normal user will care in a few years when the platform is bought out by a sociopathic billionaire and everyone has to start all over from scratch.

The basic concept is fine. The user interface is a mess.

Respectfully, this mindset of infinite customization will drive away all but the most dedicated enthusiasts.

I think a priority should be to have a small team of talented UI/UX designers create a likable, aesthetic, and intuitive interface that doesn’t feel like it was designed by an alien species tripping on acid.

I think you're conflating the enshittification with the fascism, but in fairness they're closely related.
