I saw a thread earlier which started with a variation on the idea that, on the fediverse, anything that is possible is permissible, and that folks should focus their efforts on changing what is possible.
And then the author suggested that the best way to do that would be to get the "fedi devs" together for a "community engagement" town hall, to take feedback from the community on what should be possible, I guess?
All of this is wrong and bad.
I'm not going to engage in the original post, in spite of the fact that I disagree with it, because I don't actually feel like talking to the author of the original post. I am, however, interested in exploring the ways in which this is wrong and bad, because most of it sounds pretty compelling on the surface.
