Yup, sure enough. There it is:

We should not and need not emulate the fragmentation of closed social networks

Yes, we should emulate closedness. Completely interconnected spaces are breeding grounds for monopoly. The Fediverse's lack of perfect interconnection is a feature, not a bug.

I think you didn't parse the sentence as I meant it.

I am not saying you should make all networks completely connected. What I am saying is that we should not develop Fediverse apps by emulating a closed (as in proprietary, corporate-controlled) service.
