Exactly my thoughts on this topic.
How could that be done? Anyone with the resources can host an instance, and there are plenty of instances with a low entry bar.
If the fediverse grows enough, we can be sure some entities will join not because they share our values, but because they see our value.
I don't see how we could prevent that or ensure only good guys enter. The fediverse is open by design.
@Spzi @Hotchpotch I'd say we probably can't ensure it—however it certainly wouldn't won't happen if we push everyone to use it at all costs as they said. Not that I think you're advocating for that.
