    I thought the whole point of federation was that everything from every federated instance was connected and I only need one account to see every part of it. The fact that federation has been the only discussion since the blackout is not good for the alternatives to reddit. My whole life is tech and if itā€™s this distracting to me I canā€™t imagine any remotely average user being interested. The fact that this was the perfect time to be part of an alternative but the whole experience has mostly just proven reddits ā€œgive it a weekā€ response true.

      No. If an instance hosts toxic communities then your instance can choose to defederate from it. You donā€™t have to wait for the centralized authority to ban them. Itā€™s about being able to choose your admins and form a web of ā€œgoodā€ communities.
