got this one right away. now, get off my lawn!

not quite neckbeard, but…

its not, really. and its something you get used to and come to appreciate.

the city analogy is a great one - every town has its own flavor. many towns build roads (federation) between them so all inhabitants can easily travel to each other… as a city.

some towns self-isolate or are isolated from other towns (defederated) for all sorts of reasons and, if you want to see what they have to offer, you can set up a house directly in that town or another town with a road to (federated with) that town. it really does allow some very cool places to thrive - like the internet was before it was purchased.

lemmy{dot}.world chooses to keep things pretty… bland? thats their right, but there is quite a bit of quality spiciness out there if you have a house in a well connected (widely federated) town or decide to set up a few additional houses in some of the more exotic towns.

does anyone have a federation graph up and running right now? should be easy-ish based on instance published federation lists.

the us auto market is seriously cooked. just on the economics alone, every repubiican should be up against the wall right now.

true multi-polar, here we come.
