erkose··on Scuttlebutt, a Decentralized Alternative to Facebook
We fail to consider policy when thinking about centralized/federated services. Centralized services provide strong, regular policy adherence across the network, whereas federated services provide weak, irregular policy adherence across the network. Centralized services can effectively silence a bad actor. They may also silence a good actor, but generally only under external pressure from government. Federated services have little or not ability to silence bad actors across the network, though individual instances may effectively silence "bad" actors. However in this capacity "bad" is not well understood and can simply mean the instance administrator does not like the person the silence. Individual instances may also give voice to bad actors.
