  What authority does "the fediverse community at large" possess?

    authority? none… but instance admins can defederate, and that has the potential to be powerful

    this, however, has nothing to do with the original point:

    where there is a can there is always a should or should not… the fediverse has plenty of should or should nots

      Yes - in the broadest, simply practical sense, there are always shoulds and should nots.

      But just as you knew that I wasn't simply asking for a clarification regarding the makeup of that "we," I know that you don't actually believe that that broadest sense of the terms "should" and "should not" is the one I intended when I used them.
