@feditips what if the owner of the Fediverse blocks outgoing and incoming communication from any server they don’t own. They buy the apps people use and modify the code if it currently doesn’t allowing blocking to then block if they want to?

Sure, servers can choose to block other servers.

Server owners can run in a completely isolated mode if they want. (It even notes this as a possibility in the Masto video.)

But once people are used to being able to talk to different servers, it becomes difficult to put the genie back in the bottle.

Google hasn't dared stop Gmail working with other email providers for example.

You're right that there are always dangers, but a federated structure minimises them.
