@privacat @matthieu_xyz @ploum @dangillmor Yeah - I am not a fan of the house party analogy. I'm a fan of the community analogy.

But the community is a lot of things. And people are making decisions, for their communities. And so your issue seems to be that you don't want communities, you want one big ball of humanity mashed together? And you think that the best company to bring them in is Meta?

OK - so I am completely unconvinced by two things - and I haven't seen you address them - but I think we have at least terminology.

1) Why do all communities need to interact? We can have massive communities, and small ones, we can have lots of interaction and movement. Were you there for the times when we had to shutdown Gab and Poast? Now, Meta isn't Nazis, it just wants to steal and abuse us, and ideally would like to steal from and abuse *my* users, and I want to stop them. But it's scary to be the only one banning the Big New Instance, so we've decided to get together and show people that it will be safe to do it! Is that bad? Should we let Gab back in?

2) Why Meta? Why is Meta the organization that should do this and be allowed to do this?
