All federated systems will be centralized.

Once you get a way to navigate federated things, the navigation becomes the core of the experience.

The crux of the internet experience is that Quantity is a quality in itself. Once the navigation window becomes core, and handles the highest volumes, it’s easier to streamline monetary rewards to a single place.

Federated communities that work better with whatever navigator/window/Tool is created do well, and will have more resources to expand and gain users.

You can replace the centralized navigation system in a federated system if it becomes necessary. But that is not possible in a centralized social media system. Everything is permanently centralized in that system.
