    i have been on the mastodon side of the fedi since 2018

    single user instances do not get defed’d out of nowhere. i’ve rarely (if ever) seen that happen. now if you’re an asshole in a single user instance then maybe, but there isn’t anyone going “ooh i’m gonna defederate from this guy” without you provoking them in some way.

      When single user interfaces start becoming problematic, they will be. Neither of these platforms have reached a large enough size to need it, but it will eventually be necessary for groups of servers to only federated with themselves to ensure compatibility and scalability. We already have issues with propagating content, systemic and programmaticly.
