Gregory's Server
@polotek @anildash someone here today spoke of “the” social contract of Mastodon and… no?
I love me some social contracts, but this person’s idea of the network’s social contract was very different than mine (and I had an account on the first ActivityPub server). The network is already too large to have one set of norms, or one social contract. That fragmentation is perhaps not ideal, but it is reality.
@luis_in_brief @polotek @anildash I think Luis is probably right. At this point it's not conceivable to talk about the entire federated model in any cohesive sense of norms. That ship, if it ever even really existed sailed too long ago. Different servers can be loosely aligned and that's cool but there's no one broad consensus.
