@benpate@mastodon.social i think "better safety tooling" is a bit of a red herring, because the real problem is in figuring out who has the authority to set boundaries.
assume the current fediverse/mastodonishverse/whatever to be a "bounded space". exact boundaries and technical details dont matter yet. it is a shared "space", that has some boundaries and values that people want enforced within those boundaries.
(examples can be "no cloudflare" or "relays should be optin", or whatever)

@benpate@mastodon.social 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 /2
