Also the more users are concentrated on a few instances the higher the likelihood they will suspend smaller instances. My fear is that at one point the large instances might switch from a blocklist approach to allow-listing only the instances they federate with. All of this without evil intent, just because they cannot keep up with moderating.
- kornhole 4y agoOnly block lists rather than allow lists are supported on most projects. Someone would need to fork Mastodon or other to switch to allow lists. This would be a bad departure but will surely happen in some cases. They could even disable the account move feature to lock people in. Maybe truth.social did that and is why it is basically a closed off island.
