Ah, so that's what this whole federated thing is trying to emulate. I've been looking at it and trying to figure out what's the point and why it just made me kind of twitchy to think about it and I think I'm starting to get it now.
And it still has the social problems around different sites with different mod policies and people not trusting the mods on other sites.
And not just "not trusting the mods" but having to deal with mods with wildly different goals. If I'm running Nazi-Free Federated, I'm going to have very good reasons why I don't want to connect my instance with White Power Federated. So, um, yeah - I expect the whole "all of Federated can talk to all the rest of Federated" to last until - well, I'm very surprised it's still working now. (Is it still working now?)
