   We could all learn something from the demise of a 20th century Marxist federation called the #SituationistInternational. The French section of the SI gradually kicked out all the other sections, until they were the only one left. Then they gradually kicked out various factions within the surviving SI group, until there was only one left with 2 members. #GuyDebord then kicked out the other member, and eventually ended his own SI membership by killing himself.

     Chances are the same instances that block any instance that isn't blocking Gab, will start finding other reasons to block each other for lack of ideological purity. Eventually, they will federate with nobody, and start ejecting their own users until only the admins are left. If the fediverse is to survive, enough principled instance admins must refuse to join the witchfinding mania and use instance blocks only for spam, flooding etc.
