@guardianproject @mattblaze I think it's too simplistic to take the FOSS motto of "anyone can change/fix what they think is wrong" and apply it to federated services. Changes to the protocol will likely break federation, changes to the software at the other end of the protocol can break functionality. This isn't running a server that acts weird but almost nobody sees it. This is running a server that actively talks to a bunch of others in unpredictable patterns, and if you undermine that intentionally or unintentionally, it can have unexpected consequences.
