so now you want to improve this "bounded space" with some rule/tool/thing, that makes the space "safer" (for any definition of safer)
the core problem is that the functionality of this Thing are contested by its nature, but that there is no source of authority who can make the decision for the entire space (decentralisation yadiyada)
so any rule/tool/thing that matters cannot get community buy-in because it is contested and nobody can dissolve the contestation

@laurenshof@indieweb.social I love this line of thought. Thank you! So far, I've naively assumed two boundaries: server (chosen by admins/mods) and user (my own personal blocklists) But that doesn't really follow the way our natural communities cross-cut the Fediverse, does it?

@benpate@mastodon.social calling cloudflare fascist is very easy. figuring out a rule/thing/object that causes 'no cloudflare' in this bounded space is hard, and implementing that rule/thing/object is literally impossible thats why were stuck in this endless cycle of discourse and yelling, because there is no structural way to break out of it
