The BDFL approach is complicating in these scenarios, because in social settings "benevolence" to one is "hostile" to another.

It's absolutely fine for one person to have a strong view of what "Mastodon, the software" is, but anyone dictating what the Fediverse is anathema to us all. It gets messy when "Mastodon" is used for "the Fediverse."
