I’m talking like communities exclusive to an instance where only instance members can participate in. This would be great for communities like The Agora.

i mean, that’s a sentiment but there’s plenty of should and should not outside the bounds of can and cannot… that’s what the whole meta defederation debate is about
can we defederate? absolutely… should we defederate? definitely undecided
Who’s this “we” you’re referring to?
the fediverse community at large, but i’m guessing you got that and you’re asking the question for other reasons, so what are you actually asking?
What authority does “the fediverse community at large” possess?
authority? none… but instance admins can defederate, and that has the potential to be powerful
this, however, has nothing to do with the original point:
where there is a can there is always a should or should not… the fediverse has plenty of should or should nots
Yes - in the broadest, simply practical sense, there are always shoulds and should nots.
But just as you knew that I wasn’t simply asking for a clarification regarding the makeup of that “we,” I know that you don’t actually believe that that broadest sense of the terms “should” and “should not” is the one I intended when I used them.
