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..

@eileenb mastodon doesnt need "governing", instances can block other instances. Even though they are on the federation, they will not appear on your instance if they are banned or if no one on you instance follows them.

There will always be disagreements in a federation, but the cool thing here, is that they only appear to you after they have been followed.
