    Also, I get what you’re trying to say; reddit was even worse about that kind of thing. But that’s my whole point: Community managers cannot be trusted with defederation, imagine if reddit didn’t allow the linking of twitter tweets or tumblr posts or whatever when corporate social media was actually desirable and then wonder how people would react to the promises of Web 2.0 and its “better convenience” factor.

    Mark my words, if defederation is not removed from the watchmen’s reach, they will try to destroy the entire fediverse with it.

      Exactly. I see little internet mods throwing around defederation like that scene from megamind where tighten says “more like under new management”. Their problem with reddit wasn’t the overbearing admins, it was that they weren’t the overbearing admins themselves
