Concept is however that if a new instance is detatched from the old one... then it's basically the same story of leaving myspace for facebook etc... we go through the long vetting process etc... over and over again, userbase fragments reaching critical mass is a challange every time. I mean yeah if we start with a circle of 10 trusted networks. One goes wrong it defederates, people migrate to one of the 9 or a new one gets brought into the circle. but actual vetting is a difficult process to go with, and makes growing very difficult.
