I think this might even be a central conflict in my Incandescent stuff... The failings of these sort of communal setups and how a bunch of smart people try to solve them and what befalls them along the way.
This is a LOT like the problem with Sealand. That's the libertarian ideal of just building an island with no laws in the middle of nowhere.
Great! You're free from the modern tyranny of government coercion, good for you.
What do you do when the pirates show up? Got a navy to call on for help? Going to arm yourselves?
I think we're fine on small instances and while the community of global users is < 10 Mil or so. After that? I don't know.
I'm seeing many smart people expressing serious concerns over Mastadon's ability to function in the face of extensive abuse as the communities scale up, and I think I share them.
Basically, MAstadon is reliant on benevolent policy choices. It gives you great tools, but the open question is, what happens when you have rogue instances on the warpath doing stuff that requires law enforcement intervention?
What do you do about admins of instances faking logs? Can you just ban them all? Unfed all?
Uh I promise I'll toot more tomorrow. Just tired. *sexy sprawl across bed*
Thanks meow.social for iterating so quickly on the new rules for the instance!
Ruleset updated!

Things we learned about Mastadon today: NSFW tagging images will filter them, but CW's do not block images, just the text apparently. Good to know!
(This is Rokemi's work, BTW)
And, uh, a little bit of BDSM stuff might sneak in. I mean, just a smidge.
Sulacoyote is halfway responsible for this one.
Aloof bondage cat dudes ahoy! https://meow.social/media/PmZSsagitLnuc_wdEUM
I'm a sexy cat on the internet [CITATION NEEDED] So, my timeline might have sexy cat people in it. Still, I won't post anything that's explicitly R-Rated, but just so followers know what's gonna pop up here, sexy androgynous cat dudes ahead:
Mastadon is exactly what the Furry-Maker-Island commune rolling around in my head would have. Local mesh WiFi on the trees around their trash reactor and out on bouys in the reef to keep in touch around the island. Federated out to the wider world.
"Who is this new guy in Federated?"
"Oh, He's an electroplating expert from up the coast. He's working on my project."
"Hey @platedog@uppercoastranch, can you help me get this platinum to bond to my new electrodes? I'll send you the CAD to print"
This is the part where I let meow.social and toot.cat fight to the death for my favorite Instance.
Snep Incoming!
