    Dessalines, Rimu, Admiral Patrick… some people just cannot be trusted with the barest mote of power, and apparently federated software calls to them.

      For many the purpose of federation is explicit, intentional control over their bubble. This includes, but is not limited to, silencing critics and elevating the self.

      Honestly, the modern fediverse reminds me a bit the fringes of newsnet and IRC. Power-tripping moderators and god-complex “hackers” that know just a bit more about the clients or protocols than most people care to.

      And just like then, I ignore the drama and simply walkaway if it affects my client or entry point to the network.

      federated software calls to them. There’s a campaign reason for that. Those of us experienced in colonization & empires, know exactly what allures them to “federation.”
