Maybe a hot take, but if you want this big libertarian anarchist federated system you get all the pros and cons along with it. Not having a central authority means you have no real power to stop someone from coming in and taking it. It’s inevitable by design.
I'd argue the system is working quite well, every individual and/or community has the liberty to choose what to do about Meta.
That's what federation is all about, no central power taking decisions in behalf of everyone else.
Untrue. Users cannot decide which instances they see.
of course they can. if they don't like their instance's policies, they just have to move to another. or host their own.
there has been people in pro-threads instances that have moved to one that blocks threads and the other way around.
So they have to sift through instances until they find one that federates exactly how they would? Lol. Or do they have to compromise because they don't actually have the power to choose who they federate with?
Hosting their own instance makes them admins.
You can see the blocklist of any mastodon instance without joining it. You can and should read their policies before joining.
This makes no sense. You are saying that just because you're the admin of an instance you can't be an user?
You can have a single user instance of your own and be done with it. If you don't like someone else choosing what instances defederate, you have that possibility.
It legitimately feels like you are incapable of understanding what I'm saying, so I'm just gonna make the executive decision and duck out.
Have a nice day. You may have the last reply.
