The article is not about single persons who might be trolls or whatever to qualify as a “bad guy”. But about megacorporations like Meta. The best way to deal with them is-in my opinion-to not cooperate and defederate them as soon as they start to enter.
We should not try to include as many people as we can at all cost. We should be honest and ensure people join the Fediverse because they share some of the values behind it.
Exactly my thoughts on this topic.
I prefer talking to my folks over the phone or in person. Those who only want to communicate via social media are not important enough to me to deal with all that stuff.
Some are run or overrun by those kind of people. Have a look at how many instances are already defederated: https://beehaw.org/instances
By that line of reasoning all alt-right, homophobe, harassing, doxxing, trolling etc. instances should be allowed to access every other instance to spread their hate. Is that really what you want? I don’t.
I haven’t played it yet but from what i’ve heard it’s geared towards collaborative playing, making the single mode rather grindy.
