#fediverse disaster
Half of my friends are banned on one server, half on the other, #500characters = 9lines of text - ridiculous.
I can't see #diaspora, #friendica can see #mastodon but mastodon doesn't see friendica
In general decentralizing an oligarchic corporate medium means many little dictators can practice #censorship without criteria or limits, while the majority can not afford or manage a server.
I give it a few years of #ghetto development before it implodes

Just like the US left is isolated from the world, US progressive/left #fediverse communities are very hostile and intolerant to non-US native speakers. (need I characterize the action?)

In #fediverse there is very loose agreement between individual/team "private owners" who can do whatever they like with their shop and "private property".
How can private property attitude and public forum of progressive character sign a living agreement, I don't know. It is a plan for disaster.
There is starbucks, and then there are many little coffee shops owned by X Y Z

30-40 years ago people met and discussed things in newsgroups under the hierarchy rec... before even browsing was possible. It had a more free and tolerating character then. But the public was also of a tiny group mostly academic, no kids to offend, no corporations to harm

A lot of the rules we already have apply. Libel fraud abuse etc....
I like the Starbucks coffee shop idea. Exactly what I meant.

Health can only be achieved by freeing ourselves from the pathogenic environment of property and exchange. And since there will never be a public free open internet we can only do it in physical material life, among those who are consciously and actively pursuing solutions.
In other words, we can't change the system from within the halls of the system. The street is still ours.
