This is my biggest fear. The hidden weakness of the fediverse is that the largest implementation gets to set the rules of federation

Self imposed gatekeeping. Damn that's real
the at protocol is federated under the hood. they just use data brokers so it's more centralized, but it's still decentralized in that you can run your own data broker and communicate with the network. i feel like they get the best of both worlds

I've seen people talk this way about lemmy on a kbin magazine heh
this is one thing I feel like bluesky got right. it's decentralized but "feels" like a monolith
What's a modlog?
Even if you have money unless you have a job housing is hard to get. I'm currently living out of hotels because I'm unemployed and no one wants to rent to me.
People over complicate federation. I write federated software so lemme break it down. Federation just means data sharing. When you post something on a federation enabled website it sends a copy of your post to everyone who follows you and tells their service to store your data in their database in addition to their own data. What this means is that you can't just blow up a server to shut it down because everyone in the game has a copy.
