You know the landscape at IG better than anyone.

I'll defer to your judgment.

One more thought: The future is decentralization.

I have a more ominous view. The open internet is under assault. Any possible future for the open internet as it exists requires decentralization.

Do you have any suggestions? Can something like a website be block chained; while ensuring Magnora and d3rr maintain admin control?

It is their ship.

That's the zillion dollar question. Beyond my skill set.

Sharding is now better than blockchain. Blockchain requires the entire chain. Sharding shares only parts of the blockchain and the entire chain is not critical. This helps a lot, and though loss may occur if shards aren't maintained, it's likely solved by trackers that would equalize the distribution, or something.

Further, to add on to that, I think it might even be worth embracing the idea that there may be splinter groups from SaidIt who may get banned or do their own thing, yet continue to help maintain the code and thrive or die elsewhere. This idea is more about the SaidIt community being curated and cultivated by exemplar leaders, as others groups are free to do. I guess part of that would still necessitate some kind of list of who's in the community, maybe shared among distributions.
