• We should not try to include as many people as we can at all cost. We should be honest and ensure people join the Fediverse because they share some of the values behind it.

    Exactly my thoughts on this topic.

      We should be honest and ensure people join the Fediverse because they share some of the values behind it.

      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.

      • The article is not about single persons who might be trolls or whatever to qualify as a “bad guy”. But about megacorporations like Meta. The best way to deal with them is-in my opinion-to not cooperate and defederate them as soon as they start to enter.

          Yes, sorry for being unclear. I meant the bad ‘guy’ Meta. Maybe continuing with ‘entity’ would have been better:

          we can be sure some entities will join

          ensure only good entities enter

          I tend to agree. Still quite new to the topic.
