Are those the community norms and expectations though? Or only those of a subgroup?

If it stays up and you want to block it, you can. But if it gets shut down, you can no longer choose to embrace it. The group that disliked it got to decide for everybody.

I'm not sure that's fair.

@jannem @redoak most people don't actually give a fuck about "fair". And I mean that sincerely.

I could be wrong, but I doubt it's going to be shut down. More likely it's going to become opt-in.

That will likely lead to wider adoption in the long run, because if it's opt-out, it'll get a lot of opt-outs at instance level.

I didn't say i meant the whole fedi - there are communities here for whom it's true. I don't think there is one Fediverse Community and i don't see any logic to minimizing various parts of the fedi as "only a subgroup" except to justify ignoring their wishes and boundaries.

Me, i do think it should be shut down. If you want to feed Dorsey's Data Mill you are free to register there. We can't take that away from you. But the question at hand for the bridge is opt-in vs opt-out.
