@david_megginson No, they are here. Your toots are likely visible there. Only your instance’s #administrators and #moderators are protecting you from the worst things they are doing.

I hope you are kind to and thank your #admin / #mods often. It reminds me, I have not done so recently enough.

I do, and I send a monthly donation to my social-media site equal to the cost of a Netflix subscription.

Yes, it's true that my posts are public and that each site can choose who to federate with, but I do believe there's a core consensus — going beyond protocols — that excludes the worst actors.

I definitely agree there is a consensus that instances can decide with whom they directly federate, and users should have control of their feeds, communities should have guidance on who may be a member, and decide what appropriate behaviour is for their community.

But there is no consensus I am aware of on what constitutes bad actions or who is a bad actor.
