@trwnh ...and yet somehow many people DO implicitly or perhaps even unwittingly expect the "identity layer" for all of this to somehow be easier to harmonize than the content itself, w/E2EE and moderation/blocking guarantees universally applicable, and even expects the many shades of grey between public and private to be "standardizable" [sic] across all form factors and platforms. so yeah, maybe the singular framing of "the fediverse" is the problem, but also a bit of economic fingers-in-ears
@trwnh all of which is just to posit that maybe the "social" part allows a certain "closed world" assumption to creep in (and a lot of scope creep!) because identity is infrastructure and people think it's easy to "standardize" social norms globally. anyways, send me the blog post when you push it, or before!
