       @sir I would disagree because if we want it to be around a while we need to have a way to protect users from the possibility of an overzealous admin. in the very same way a government works because unfortunately unless it is a very small group getting a large number of people to migrate to a new service is very difficult. I actually was a member of a D&D group that did something like this where we had a formal governance setup where the DM was elected before each campaign, etc...

       @sir that is always an option and in fact it was that very same process that gave rise to our D&D group, the rule set we had was a direct response to an overzealous admin. because we wanted to never have the need to fork. but that should be the solution of last resort (ala the nuclear option) with rules in place to protect the users from the possibility of needing to do it again. this is because we learned that getting people to switch services is strenuous, difficult, time consuming, etc...

       @sir completely understandable, I think that for a lot of social platforms that is enough, and a federated future of a bunch of small servers if each one implements this and it remains small enough to be moderated by one person it'll work, the problem lies where one server gets too big for one person to moderate and you need a full mod team with differing views on what being a dick is.

       @sir that raises the question of what would you do regarding projects like JMRI that is firmly open source but doesn't want to take on a license for whatever reason
