A month ago, everyone: "Yay, the freedom of decentralized social media where communities can form around their own values and according to their own internal rules."
Today, everyone: "What we need is a central code of conduct by which everyone must conform or risk punishment imposed by people outside their community."
New boss, same as the old boss.
@Frankenbeans I don't think that's a fair framing of the discussion. If instances want a shared CoC because it's been unfortunately made clear that one is needed to their members or admins, that's a decision they're free to make *because decentralization allows them to make that choice themselves*
There's no boss - new or old - just people making decisions for themselves and their communities.
