The whole point of federation is to not be a monolith where one change in the rules affects everyone in the network.

Mastodon isn't a brand so much as it's a grouping of a bunch of different brands (servers). In a way Mastodon can't win or lose because of this. If you have 10 people on a server and they're happy- you've won. Gruber has a hard time wrapping his head around this, partially because it's just not his thing.
