   @snarfed.org I understand there are /today/ bumps in the road that don't make this easy, but it feels like this is the end product, so let's accept and take on the fact that as we build platforms and protocols for people, those people will want to express themselves and participate in different ways, and that's a good thing.

   None of these options are either/or, everything we're talking about is simply lacking decision support and some protocol or client enhancements.

     @snarfed.org Let's build a network that accommodates major publishers, popular bloggers, introspective carpenters, people who want to talk about knitting but not Formula 1, the cautiously exploring 19 year old who wants to play in the sandpit but is fearful of being seen by their parents/peers/church, people who want to speak and practice Catalan...

     All of these people deserve a social network that meets THEIR needs. Let's centre on the people and go from there.

     @snarfed.org platforms and client applications have a duty of care to the people they want using their products. This includes people who have a different lived experience than them.

     We seem to continually be wrapped up in finding the "right" solution, when I believe the better path is finding the many solutions and presenting them in a clear, unbiased interface that helps people do whatever it is they want to do.

     Open or allow-only federation - both options are good options.
