Generally true but I will say, there’s a concerning amount of astroturfing going around on eg. sh.itjust.works about how iMporTanT it iS to let tHe hatErs sPeaK. The place seems to be going full ‘nazi bar’ very quickly. It doesn’t matter how tankie the original devs are, we still need to be wary of our spaces. If there’s one thing the alt right has proven effective at out of all their massive incompetences, it’s turning social spaces online into shit holes.
I think that’s kind of a weird way to see it. For the most part the fediverse will likely be a large group of general purpose instances that eschew a few assholes on the fringes.
Right now we’re facing issues because people are turning up their noses at the idea of wanting to eschew assholes on the fringes.

the fediverse will splinter on lines, starting to see running your own instance more like running a usenet client.
