@aral Ok, so you advocate for something aligned with, but distinct or rather more decentralised than the Fediverse.

@aral Do you think that Mastodon is more like a public park, or many private places where people can see each other? Bans are more frequent here because owners of small instances are more opinionated. Large commercial platforms have wide principles and teams that are expected to enforce them sparingly — they wouldn’t reach the scale needed to be profitable otherwise. Same for a large mall: you rarely get told off, at least if you look like you are spending money.
