Prediction: masses get into Mastodon, governments mandate protocol tapping to filter out some ActivityPub traffic, for "kids good" or to "stop terrorism". Hosting companies and ISPs start to disallow hosting social networks in their T&C, kind like torrent or crypto mining.
- qualudeheart 4y agoThat won’t happen unless Mastodon becomes a hub for socialists and communists. The average Twitter user switching to Mastodon isn’t radical enough for that. Western governments won’t censor ideas within their overton windows, so they won’t censor anything from centre left to centre right. You won’t see censorship of Mastodon until anarchists and communists use it to coordinate protests at scale.
