I think this is an important point to consider. For a long time, I kept thinking that the fediverse was going to be the answer to the problem of keeping separate accounts on every site (because most places are isolated/walled-in networks). It took me years to accept that "one account everywhere" isn't what the federation model is about.
I wish there was such a thing, but that's going to require portable identities/user accounts, and I don't know why but that seems to be progressing at a snail's pace with a bunch of stagnated RFCs everywhere (but please let me know if there is progress happening somewhere, I may be out of the loop). Once we have that, it'll make the fediverse a lot more convenient, since then you should be able to log in to other instances with the same account.
Indeed, it's an answer to the problem of people's right to organise and govern their own communities. It's not perfect since federation is literally interconnected (to various degrees) centralised instances, with each one controlled by one or a select few people that the community trusts, but it's better than commercial platforms and closed protocols.

hey folks, we'll be quick and to the point with this one:...
I would like to see an instance for people of the Nordic Countries and cultures (en.wikipedia.org)
No supremacy or xenophobia, just a space for Nordfolk to talk about things that concerns the Nordics more than other parts of the world....
Best backup for Linux?
I am using duplicati and thinking of switching to Borg. What do you use and why?
