   The fedi doesn't belong to you. The fedi doesn't belong to me. That's the beauty of it.
   
   We can make any community and interact with whomever we want. This space enables us to curate whatever kind of experience we want without being tormented by the shifting policies of centralized platforms that want to exploit people.
   
   When people complain about blocklists, they are just broadcasting they want to take the place of centralized platforms in this space and define your experience, ignoring what you want. They want to be the central authority on how you use this space.
   
   That's not advocating for an open web. That's advocating for entitlement.
   
   Because a truly open web includes respecting people's choices to have the space they want.

     @Are0h so, I think for a lot of people, the "Fediverse" feed on the Mastodon UI is "the fediverse". And, for another group of people, it's their main interface.

     All of which is to say: to me, the fediverse is open, and what's powerful is that we can each control the experience we have.

     But that's kind of liberal and individualist. I think a lot of people consider the fediverse to be a literal single feed, collectively managed, kind of in a communalist or syndicalist structure.

     @Are0h I feel like when we say "the fediverse is this" or "the fediverse is that", we might be talking about different things, which can be hard for everyone.
