Observing fedi-folk from various marginalized communities snipe at each other over the past week has been devastating and tragic. No conspiracy theory here, but if there were some nefarious plot to weaken the fediverse, provoking a conflict like this one would be an effective way to go about it.
The purpose of this post isn't to further stir the shit. But it's worth taking a look at origins, alternatives and possible consequences in light of the ongoing threat of authoritarian and capitalist recuperation looming over the fedi.

Something that lots of folks in this convo are probably not aware of is that the Bad Space isn't just another blocklist or website. It's at the center of a plan called FSEP which (at least initially), during the setup of a new fediverse instance, would load the Bad Space blocklist, and only that blocklist, by default. If the scheme is deployed the instances on that list could end up being defederated from most of the fediverse. Agreement from only two "trusted sources" is required to affirm an entry on the Bad Space.
