If internet as proven anything, it's that power is taken by pricks most often than not.

I mean the gafa have obvious flaws, Stack Overflow and Wikipedia are run by some "elit"... Reddit has some moderation problems too. (understatement is my kink too, yes... )

And mastodon is far from perfect in this matter. The good thing though is changing instance is... if not easy, at least not as radical as just stopping using it and losing every contact you had there. But it's new, so maybe I'm still a bit too optimistic about it.

So it raises the question : How do you stop people aggregating power?
