no, users decide what clients to use. client are free to decide what they want about who is who.

to be clearer and avoid pedantic responses like yours i should have said "users and software projects are both free to do whatever they like, but in my opinion the best way to preserve censorship-resistance and end-user power in a decentralized network is for content to be filtered by the users' own trust graph (and not their client's whims) as much as possible, lest you run into tha age-old problem of 'clients' quietly making more and more decisions for users until you're exactly back where we started with fully centralized platforms and users have lost the thread, enchanted by ease, 'safety' and 'engagement'" sorry, i didn't feel like typing all that and i figured it was obvious or else why the fuck are we here together?
