@griotspeak I see it boiling down to two cases: One can restrict distribution to people/servers they know and trust - that is, aggressive whitelisting and walling off one’s patch of the garden, creating a small, closed, and (putatively) safe ecosystem - or one can grant any degree of openness at all, and deal with the consequences of openness. A Fediverse or a Fediarchipelago are the poisons from which we may pick.
