So my question today is:
How will mastodon be governed? What's to stop the bad guys opening up instances and joining the federation?
Who says that subversive content is not allowed and should be taken off the instance, or banned.
Lots of challenges for a nascent platform I think..

I've been thinking about some of these future challenges.

But mostly, I'm enjoying the moment. This new space. Each instance with its own emerging ethos. The breathing room and nuance of 500 characters, vs pressure & sharp elbows of 140.

So, like a promising new bar or restaurant, I'm trying not to figure out how it will fail, even as I see the rough edges.

I'm not really caring about "retoots" or "going viral". And I'm valuing the chance to build a fresh, diverse set of friends.
