Fedi Garden to Instance Admins: "Block Threads to Remain Listed"
wedistribute.org
A community index of servers added a new rule recently, that requires every participant to defederate from Threads. Some admins are unhappy.

Server indexes of places for newcomers to join can be instrumental for Fediverse adoption. However, sudden rule changes can leave some admins feeling pressure to change policies in order to remain listed.

    The above is the core strength of the fediverse. Tinpot despots may have an advantage in the network due to previous efforts, but they can be routed around any time they go nuts.

    This is a huge, huge win over the top down shitbergs that is current corporate social media.

      I think this is true, but the fediverse (as an entity) needs to prevent too much power accumulating at one point.

        It ebbs and flows. Full decentralization would be ideal, but unrealistic. Power always consolidates, until it suddenly doesnt. Making it easy to leave when it “suddenly doesnt” is key.
