It’s a weird own goal for various Mastodon admins who are running a decentralized social network based on interoperable protocols to pledge that they won’t interoperate with services from existing social networks if built on the same open protocols.

It’s not even the hypocrisy, it’s just dumb and undermines the entire point of interoperable protocols.

@carnage4life I think of it like spammers. They follow RFC822 and SMTP to the letter. We still block them.

That's an excellent and productive analogy. It leads to considering how we might automate detection of "fedispam", allowing us to use mostly-automated defenses as we do with email spam.
