I often swing between longing for a federated protocol that can be managed by technical people and used by everyone, like XMPP, and something more P2P to reduce centralization and allow everyone to instantly "open an account" with no need for technical skills, but that still needs some kind of relays for asynchronous communication, like ssb. None are technically perfect (although I really like the simplicity and extensibility of XMPP) but in the end what matters is not that: it's about how the protocols are used, how they allow all of us to communicate, how they give more power to those who aren't already using the internet to exchange information. And that is not a technical problem
