Turning things upside down, it suddenly occurs to me that #fediverse could have the inverse effect of what is expected.
Twitter, as far as I can make out, generally goes like this:
Somebody who for whatever reason, makes something, builds something, or does some research, etc and makes a post of genuine interest about it, often linked to a blog or a publication.
several 100 or 1000 (maybe people, maybe bots) post one liner (often hateful, sometimes trying to be witty) noise on the thread.

Yes, I feel that ultimately, the logistics of administration is going to be the crux of it all. Both the human resources required for... what can we call it? Social administration? and the tech resources required to stay online and scale. (computer hardware, electricity, etc)
Which to my mind is one more reason to keep your instance small!
