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 Yup, forming a "whitelist council" will kill the momentum of the Mastodon project and hurt single instances of people who want decentralized social media. 🤓
@james @Frankenbeans A whitelist council is the worst idea I have heard - has it really been suggested by someone?
@Gargron @Frankenbeans @james until the 18th century this was handled by the church…
