And again I agree with you lol. It’s not how you are explaining things, more so that I think I’m sucking at explaining them myself. You are explaining things well, which is why I can agree with you.
So, my thoughts on this are, again based around a strong home instance. For example, say the biggest community for a certain topic is on a server that gets unfederated. The users from our server will know that they can always fall back on the magazine here and not worry about it disappearing.
Which ties into your point of minimizing consequences. That said, the points you are making are exactly how I feel, but maybe a tiny bit different in their approach. I hope that makes sense, English is my first language and I still suck at explaining thing haha.
