I wonder if, on average, “free speech” will be nicer purely because instances are smaller. The #fediverse could have the same number of members, but because they’re organized in small faux communities, it will be harder to be a jerk?

- higher risk of being ostracized/banned on your own instance if you misbehave (easier to be nice to “real” people than the entire internet)
- admins can define and enforce stricter policies with less scrutiny (house rules are easier when the house is small)

I’m other words… taking the pressure off making One Set of Rules could actually make it easier to have the Generally Accepted Set of Rules that most people want anyway?

@mehulkar I suspect in a sense this may be true, but also that with the servers connected but not directly- it will be hard for bot farms to just rain down misery on one person as effectively as they did on twitter
