honestly i think i could sum up all of my takes about federation much more simply if i just said “i’m a platformist”
:P
@Lady Kibi “i do not do labels, also i am a platformist” Go
:P
@aescling i don't actually like the label platformist, but it's a better vernacular descriptor than any of its adjectives; i feel like i’m probably actually closer to especifist thought but that word belongs to a very particular political context
in any case the purpose of having a platform is it means you can tell the labels to take a hike (unlike synthesist anarchism where the label is the only thing binding you together)
sorry synthesists, libertarians, and (with sympathies) communists; mastodon is simply designed for small agile groups with high levels of internal cohesion and collective responsibility
