Gregory's Server@samhenrigold Yeah, I think maybe some smaller instances where there’s broad agreement that it should be done could get away with it, but if you’re a big instance with a broad range of people, I don’t think it’s a great move.

@matt I think a great distinction is if people are signing up for an experience that happens to be powered by Mastodon vs signing up for Mastodon and using an instance as a vehicle for that. If you're an experience (eg yowza.social) then yeah, anything goes.
But like you said, if people are signing up for an account as a means to interact with the broader world (90% of instances) then at that point, an instance admin becomes a service provider and people expect a less opinionated experience
