How is this a relevant question? Nobody said anything about some governing body. There have been discussions on many instances about whether to federate with them or not, and it’s accurate to say that some people think we should.
For example, I'm personally of the opinion that instances should be allowed to federate until they prove themselves to be bad actors, but in Meta's case there's a lot of existing evidence that shows they shouldn't be allowed to federate in the first instance.
Meta is the textbook definition of a bad actor. Plenty of precedent there.
Who do you imagine is (or should be) making these rules for the Fediverse?
Every instance gets to decide on its own, there's no set of rules governing the whole thing. That's why I stated this is my opinion, not some hard and fast rule.
You stated it very much as a set of rules that should exist. Twice.
Are you replying to the correct person?
Yes. Did you forget how to quote your whole post?
its also accurate to say some people are fucking idiots and think we should federate.
on the wax winged hope in hell that the bad actor suddenly, miraculously, becomes a good actor..for reasons no one can explain.
