Because I want the fediverse to succeed, not become another failed platform drowning in extremism like Voat.
The fediverse will succeed or fail because of one's ability to choose with whom they associate. Voat was just as centralized as Reddit, except its whole point was to invite the alt-right with a freeze peach dog whistle.
We can label the devs authoritarian if we want, but what they've built is inherently liberating.
