@dsfgs@mastodon.sdf.org maybe in your eye one is validated through federation, but I would reject that interpretation of that network activity.

Any system like this will have bad actors.

It will also have different ideas about how they should be dealt with, and even the bad actors do bring value to users based on users' diverse wants from the system.

So again I'm pointing out that for all you wrote about Facebook being a bad actor, a lot of us don't care whether that's true or not. It's not the case to be made because it just doesn't matter to us.

Yes I know that matters a lot to you. I know that's your personal focus. I understand that.

But this system doesn't require us all to conform to that philosophy, and to me that's one of the most important parts about it.
