   idea: petition the ftc to compel #twitter to federate with !gnusocial. their closed platform and opaque practices obviously constitute anticompetitve conduct.

     @betafive !gnusocial Boy I disagree with this! If you want to see what that would be like, enable full bridging with the TwitterBridge plugin.

     @betafive Do you really want Twitter to have their beloved council attempt dictation over what happens on !gnusocial?

     @betafive They'd probably even have their developers implement !gnusocial features to put a stranglehold on our freedom here.

     @takeshitakenji isn't the point of federation that they'd only have control over their own !gnusocial instance?

     @takeshitakenji if they could, wouldn't that be a bug in !gnusocial?

     @orphean !gnusocial what's the harm, though? other servers on the network don't impact you unless you choose to interact with them.

     @orphean @takeshitakenji i'm not sure i follow. do "oversized" nodes present a technical problem to the !gnusocial infrastructure, or is this more a community-building concern?

     @orphean @takeshitakenji the bridge is obviously inferior to real federation though. for example, twitter users can't remote-follow folks using !gnusocial.
