What would happen if ICE wanted to join the Fediverse? Most instances probably wouldn’t host that account, but some would. The account would be broadly blocked at both individual and instance levels, and some instances would probably defederate the hosting instance. Some folks would migrate between instances based on these choices. All this, I think, would be a good outcome?

If you have a fediverse account, you can quote this note from your own instance. Search https://cosocial.ca/users/timbray/statuses/115908062279856748 on your instance and quote it. (Note that quoting is not supported in Mastodon.)
