1. No. There is no particular reason why there needs to be one (say) twitter alternative. Heck, there is not even a reason why there should be a alternative. Fediverse is allowed to be their own things.
2. But each site already has their front page. See eg.: lemmy.dbzer0.com. Alternatively if you meant “each software”, that’s more-or-less what join-lemmy.org is doing.
3. No but yes.
4. I’m not sure that leads to where you think it leads to. That would require authenticating users financially, for one, else it becomes a dark pattern magnet for suckpuppeting.
5. Mostly absolutely yes. I think I’ve seen it discussed a few times under “fediverse identity” or something like that.

As a former lemmeezen, RIP, F, it was a good trip, quite decent service, but now it’s time to spread out.

db0 is being nice so far, and I even got an account on my country’s lemmy.

AI is much like smoking (hey, it is killing the atmosphere! ). Even if a good writer uses it, the usage itseld can still cause harm for others.

Oh it’s for the correct sound distinction. Compare naïve vs naive (eg.: glaive).

I’d take it part of the problem is that publisher is quite a “unglorious” job to say somehow. Like, it’s difficult to make it look fancy or interesting enough that you’d take effort, time and resources from other things you could be doing - such as, ya know, writing the story you want to write - to have to do that.

Cute, but we all know the only way these writers are going to get what they want is if they part ways from their current publishers and start a coöperative.
