@humanetech @rachelcoldicutt Yes, I get it. Only these are not my “network politics”. I don't understand why a retweet, let's say on climate justice, from Twitter, is not OK just because there's a lot of crappy content on Twitter. But structurally this is very similar to, for example, open source advocates refusing to open .doc files. Again, not my favored approach to socio-technical change, but I get it where this stance comes from. I would approach this as an issue of governance, at best in interconnected systems. I guess my biggest disappointment / issue with Mastodon is how little participatory governance there is. From what I understand key design decisions for the network in some cases have honestly been done based on an individual decision of a key programmer. I wish there was more participatory / community / democratic governance of the Fediverse.

@Gargron Sounds like a great issue to open up for community governance. I respect a lot the effort that you've personally made to build Mastodon, but I find it problematic that decisions for whole ecosystems are made by individuals. these should be participatory decisions.

@darius Hi Darius. I'm curious about overall sustainability / scaling of the Mastodon / Fediverse network. Do you know whether anyone is looking at this in aggregate? Is anyone calculating the server costs (increase)? I haven't seen any mention of economics of #Fediverse, but my server's admin is already mentioned sudden, additional costs of running the instance.

@darius thanks for the data point! it would be great, by the way, if Fediverse architecture was fully transparent in terms of traffic, costs, at best also carbon footprint.
