how do we tell the story that the fediverse is complex web of instances, and that that is desirable?
(e.g.there is a direct link between the search not returning every result -- independent moderation -- isolating instances of abuse)
this is critical for helping people exit the hegemonies, because there are desires learned from being there that we can't & don't want to recreate
@douginamug "Masnick's impossibility theorem" is an easy way https://www.techdirt.com/2019/11/20/masnicks-impossibility-theorem-content-moderation-scale-is-impossible-to-do-well/
Segmenting the network to human-scale sizes makes the problem simpler.
Traditionally the recommended size is Dunbar's number. ;)

@nemobis oof... firstly, that's a real rough handling of Arrow's Impossibility theorem and secondly his point is pretty much the generalization that "you can't make everyone happy" 😓
But thanks for giving me some things to think about, I'll see how I might weave it in.
Do you have a history with meatballwiki?
