Specifically, the model should be the Wikimedia Foundation. That is, a non-profit organization with lots of stakeholders and resources and slow procedures to guarantee accountability. This is the pragmatic least-bad solution to the problem of centralization on the internet.

Wikipedia Foundation is also bloated and unfocused outside of their mainstay product. But like Mozilla, they generally do good with the bloat and unfocused resources. Inefficiencies are easy to identify but hard to mitigate.

Yes, bloat and mission creep is going to be an issue with any big non-profit. But maybe that’s also their advantage: any organization that becomes focused on sustaining itself is going to provide decent long-term stability. I guess it’s a bit like a state.
