This is part of the deal you make when joining a community with active mods, admins, and rules. Not everything is up for debate. I know firsthand that this can be quite frustrating sometimes, but we can’t act like everything else has always been subject to election up to this point. It simply was not.
And again:
Being able to just leave and set up and run a community the way you like it is the backbone and the biggest strength of the Fediverse!
Start a community and run it the way you like! Expand the Fediverse! Make a place truly your own! You can do that with an ease that was unheard of before. The only thing you can’t do is force people to act the way you want them to.
Perfect, and then the mods will lock it down and move to an instance I dislike.
When you create a community, you are the mod of the community you created, and you can choose to move or stay. So I don’t know which mods you are talking about.
One strength of the Fediverse is indeed that the community belongs to the users.
Yes, by being able to leave and create your own community. You can even run your own instance, giving you total control over everything on it.
If you want to do this, do it, but then you have no right to criticize.
You can also set your community rules to something like “Big decisions affecting the whole community must be backed by a public vote.”
This is what I mean by making the place entirely your own.

There’s a reason [email protected] exists. One strength of the Fediverse is indeed that the community belong to the users.
You realize you would be the mod if you start a community, right?

Sorry, let me rephrase it: “Perfect, and then I will lock it down and move it to an instance a majority of the community members dislike.”
