I love unintentional irony.

This is a coup.

Yes, because if it was more open, there would be a risk of leftists gaining influence.

Huh - apparently just being not-the-Republicans isn’t enough.

The important question is, will the DNC learn anything from this?

I’m guessing no.

I sincerely expect future historians (if there are any) to have a specific name for this particular period in American history - something like “The idiot Age” or “The Faceplant Years.”

Broadly, this is just the sort of thing that can be expected when we allow positions of power to be held by people who are mentally ill.

“The fediverse” really can’t. That’s just the reality of a decentralized system. It’s going to be up to individual instances to sort it out.

But that’s a good thing, because what it means is that different instances can and will try different approaches, and between them, they’ll sooner or later hit on the one(s) that will be most effective.
