@homegrown @jcrabapple Do you think the presumption that instances should by default federate with any new instances that show up will survive as the grows and has more spam (and worse)? I worry that running a small instance could become like running a small mail server, where it's difficult to get others to accept your messages.

@kcivey @jcrabapple

Difficult to tell, hopefully not a problem in the future.

@kcivey @homegrown@social.growyourown it's much easier with the power of relays!

@Keith Ivey Hopefully we will move to individuals being able to manage their own block lists. That way administrators can focus on banning spammers.

I think you will always have instances that ban anyone that thinks differently than they do, but because people can move to another hub/instance/server, or install their own, people have a choice in the matter.

I think in the end, most people will want to be on servers where they can control their own block lists, rather than being told what to see and not see.
