+Universality and openness are also the core liberal values that have underpinned the FLOSS and open source but also been how social media has been sold. Liberal belief that more interconnection leads to more inclusion leads to more free speech, lead to more info leads to more participation.

+What is unique about the Fediverse is this both technical and cultural acknowledgement
+that openness has its limits, and is itself open to wide-ranging interpretations dependent
+on context, which are not fixed in time.

through the communities came ideas like safe space, what is public, should you expose everything, and defederating became a thing
universel openess became a question of who should be talking to who
-because of that fediverse could grow from a network of a few thousands FLOSS nerds to something much larger because it fits more communities because they can exclude each other
+because of that fediverse could grow from a network of a few thousands FLOSS nerds to something much larger because. Selective exclusion allowed communities to define themselves and guard themselves and consequently the network fits more communities because they can exclude each other. setting exclusive boundaries allows more to join on their own terms.
