What is the most important unanswered question about the Fediverse? (lemmy.world)

There are a large number of unanswered questions about the Fediverse. I don't just mean questions that users may have, but questions for which no suitable answer exists yet. Some are extremely abstract and existential like "will the Fediverse survive the next decade?" Other questions are very concrete like, "What is the copyright status of a federated post?" or "What are the moral implications of federating content that may be harmful or recording a crime?"

I wonder, for those of you who stay up nights thinking about the Fediverse, which question is the most important to you?

I don't think so - there's already a project that bridges between AT and AP, so in theory it's possible for that to just be pulled into Mastodon proper.

However, that's not to say it'll be easy. It'll be a years of work with lots of challenges and drama.
