    They’re an instance, they can put a rule requiring every comment to include the text “I’m a little teapot”.

      That doesn’t imply it would be a good rule which is what we are disagreeing about. Pointing out they CAN have a rule is irrelevant.

        what we are disagreeing about

        In a federated system, the relevant part is each instance CAN have different rules. If you don’t like one set, or consider it “not good”, then go to an instance with a different set, or start your own.

          “start your own”

          “start you own!”

          “Start you own start your own”

          There should be a rule that allows for violence against people who say that

        Sure, they can. And people can point out it’s the instance owner’s choice.
