Gregory's Server@ajroach42 In my opinion, in mastodon, there's a natural inclination to dox yourself. Put this in the hand of 1 or a few powerful instances without regulatory oversight, then it's a recipe for abuse. Thus, with a big enough incident, government will step in and fediverse will change forever.

@ajroach42 Regarding the contingency plan aspect, if we consider each instance as a subsystem of a larger system (i.e. fediverse), best practice dictates that, at the very least, each instance should have its own contingency plan. That's obviously not the case today nor is it required by norm or regulation. So, we're behind. Ideally, we'd be talking about a contingency plan at the fediverse level.  @grunk I think it's presumptive to assume that there isn't some kind of support network and some kinds of contingency plans in place. You're new. Some of us go way back. Our threat models are not all the same, but we're not flat footed idealists. |
@grunk Ah.
We'll see when the time comes, I suppose. We'd have to have a functional enough government to actually Do something, and I don't know that we do in the US. Maybe Europe will be the place that kills mastodon.
