Here’s some predictions I have with soon (<2 months?) releasing a trivially deployable fediverse software, of what’ll happen later down the road after it’s released:
Instance admins will stereotype it as being “nothing more than a tool for abuse”
There’ll be instances that will try to auto-block anything that runs it
I’ll be shit on for “wrecking the fediverse” by letting people be more sovereign and independent from mentally-ill/abusive admins of mega-instances, and for rendering fediblock more useless. More instances might go whitelist-only.
Instance admins will try to dissuade users from emigrating to it, preaching that “but you need to be on my instance, you won’t ‘have wider visibility’ by being on the alternative, besides: you’ll most likely be auto-blocked” or “you’ll be ‘vulnerable’ to all the Nazis out there, you NEED my ‘protection’”.
None of this would be anything by-design nor intentional, it’d just be by mere nature of something that’s easier to deploy on standard hosting, compared to many of the over-architected/arcane predecessors.
