@daringfireball The cool thing about federated social networks is if an instance admin makes a decision you don't like, you can just find someone you do like who runs exactly the same software/service - but with better policies.
Given time, it'll become obvious what the "right" policy is and most networks will be aligned.
I'd be annoyed if the instance I'm on right now made the "wrong" decision, but it wouldn't be catastrophic the way those decisions might be on Twitter or Reddit. I can leave.
