   @traumaphoenix @Elizafox there's a GUI to manage SimplePolicy, although they might call it something different in Mastodon.
   
   That sounds like a great idea. I have an instance that uses limited federation btw. You're both allowed through, so you can mention me there, too.

     I think it’s a good thing because right now we have a lot of admins that hate each other and block each other over nothing. The best remedy for this is to separate into different networks. The idea of “one fediverse” I think cannot and should not stand.

     @Elizafox yeah tbh i've long since wondered why there's no fedi server software that treats new servers like follower requests

     there's a whitelist mode but no one's going to use it if you have to SSH into your host every single time 🦋

     I think the end game for fedi is it will wind up like IRC and fragmented into networks. This is probably a good thing.

     In the beginning there was one IRC network, then a server called eris.berkeley.edu joined that allowed anyone to link. This was unacceptable to the functioning of the network, so everyone absconded and made EFNet, the “Eris-Free Network.”

     IRC flourished for decades until Discord, Telegram, etc. ate their lunch.
