    Yeah, I was hoping the communities were more tightly federated. That is, the community name was simply the community name on all servers rather than having local vs All.

      But what if the mods on a community go rogue? If the politics community in one instance goes to shit because of a corrupt mod, you can join one from another instance rather than have no option.

        You’d end up with having to go to a different community regardless. It would just mean using a new community name rather than the server+community federated name.

        Currently if something like /c/technology goes rogue, you’d end up either joining c/technology@beehaw.org or someone creates /c/tech… or both. In tighter federation, /c/technology is toast so you move to /c/tech or something like that instead but there’s no option for a /c/technology@some-other-server. In some ways more limiting but it ends up easier for the end user.
