With great power should come great responsibility.

But it doesn’t.

Currently, with great power comes great ability to avoid responsibility.

Anyone who feels the need to put down groups or people who are more vulnerable than themselves is not someone to admire.

What is bullying?

Bullying is defined as any action, words, behaviour (indeed , anything!) that's:

1. Repeated.
2. Done to harm someone.
3. Containing a power differential in the favour of the person doing it.

Suggestion for Mastodon (to prevent eventual gMastodon instance): cap instance size at 100 - 1,000 account by default. Make it a social contract for instances not to federate with instances greater than that limit.

Or, a few years from now, say hello to “gMastodon”. (See history of email and the Web for a lesson in the future.)

That said, we might already be on that path.
