RE: Week through Adrian's Lenses (15-21 March 2025)

The various Mastodon/Fediverse nodes are run by individuals or organisations. They can each set and enforce their own rules. People can also opt not to federate other nodes if they think they are spammy or otherwise unsuitable. You can think of them as being like email servers really. They communicate on a standard protocol, but operate independently. If someone ran one that linked to Hive then would see if it would be accepted.
