Governance and the Fediverse

I assert that the big Mastodon servers need to actually form a formal working governance structure suitable for selecting who is federated with, along with ground rules for punitive actions on accounts. Entailed is the assertion that big instances should have formal internal governance structures separate from an admin's personal whims.

I owe a huge debt to Jo Freeman's incredibly articulate discussion on these issues.
