want a mass decentralization event?

1. make migrating a PDS into a simple no-code experience with a modern GUI that can be done in 30 minutes or less

2. allow for migrating back

3. incentivize migrating by rewarding with a status symbol for participating in decentralization + power user features

I just hope they kept the iconic theme song. And Isaac the bartender.
