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.

@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.

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.
