Regardless of what anyone thinks about politics, nothing good will come by letting them in. I hope all current instances defederate, I know mine will.

Yeah, I think that would be a good way to start. It may exacerbate flamewars, however.
I'm not gonna lie I miss skeumprphism from the 2000's, I know a lot of people thought it was tacky but it had more character than this flat, low-effort boring shit. This new flat stuff from the mid-2010's makes it look like these companies got halfway through product design and quit.
What the article doesn't mention is just how much time the Fediverse has spent in its infancy, because the drive wasn't there for certain stuff and people only worked on what they cared to work on. Grassroots development, compared to the FB social graph and whatnot, which had paid employees working on it every day, while Jim spent his weekends in his basement tinlering with ActivityPub or OStatus.
I run my own instance here at twisti.ca and have the full intention of defederating
