People, please. The "Mastodon Board" (whatever that even means) could have Mr Satan in it, and you'd still be able to fork the software and/or run your own instance. None of y'all have ever had problems defederating from large instances, so don't even think about throwing that argument in.
Whatever your opinions are about this, it's unrealistic to expect this to remain a hobby project for two engineers. Maybe this is not the best way to solve this problem, but (again), Just Fork It™
