@dansup @liaizon @pixelfed But you mentioned "issues people have with outdated or broken instances", and that doesn't seem to be addressed by the policies in these screenshots.

If that's the main reason you're considering one default instance instead of a round robin of default instances, then perhaps you could add some pace of updating software to the pledge? Or you could do some additional curation if you receive reports an instance is broken?

Please don't centralize any further.
