  there is not almost any attempt to organize public participation. Except maybe admin posts with discussions in comments. Also users can vote with their feet.

  I agree that the admin instinct is mostly honest and democratic and they should be regarded for their work. But the instance governance is mostly autocratic. And this kind of structure usually devolves in despotism, since power corrupts.

  Would be nice to see an institution-based instance, with a constitution, elections, balance of power. Would be a great social experiment!

  This is really interesting, also in comparison to governance of “traditional” social networks.

  I would not be surprised if someone did scientific research about it.

  An interesting difference is no need to fight for land and resources, anyone can go and create another microstate.

  Still, there is some benefit of larger states, they can resist spam better. But as much as they implement spam filters in the code, smaller instances can them. Political benefits of open source are real.
