Morning brain fart. What if Masodon *is* the future that Elon imagined. A local square style platform where you can say what you want. But being a toxic asshole means you get booted from the local community and villages next door where toxic people gravitate towards are told they really aren’t welcome.Smaller servers with AUPs so the necessity for moderation is greatly reduced can only seem like a good thing to me.

@plambrechtsen I was half-jokingly pondering something similar: what if Elon Musk accidentally destroyed Twitter but in doing so inadvertently fostered a newly decentralised social media where the libertarian dreams of free speech could be realised – and thus sort-of achieved something akin to what he was trying to do in the first place.

@jasonlv I have an issue with the whole libertarian fantasy of free speech as it inevitably involves some factions just wanting to say whatever toxic brain fart they come up with without consequences.That’s wrong as functional society depends on conforming within the acceptable norms of the day while pushing society forward. I think that is important as when our most vulnerable are lifted up then all of society are lifted up.

@plambrechtsenMaybe Melon Usk was an insider working in the interests of growing the fediverse this whole time? 😅It's no weirder than the theory that a guy who's been highly successful in tech businesses wouldn't know that the main assets of the company he's buying are;* The people using it, who mostly don't trust him and can leave* The workers who build and maintain it, who he's firing to balance the books sorry termGuess he's banking on user domestication keeping folks there?@buzzy

@strypey @jasonlv @buzzy I think the decentralised nature will definitely work out in the long run as being far superior. Servers will come and go and donations to keep good servers going will be a worthwhile investment, the asshats will congregate on a diminishing number of hosts isolated from the wider fediverse.

@plambrechtsenThis has already happened a few times. The video I mentioned uses Gab as a case study. But it doesn't just work with the far right. Ultraleftists and other fundamentalists who defederate from any instance hosting people who disagree with them about anything, also end up in an ideologically pure federation of one. Which insists them from thoughtcrime and the rest of us from them ;)@jasonlv @buzzy
