    Federation is easy. BlueSky is federated, ffs. You think Jack Dorsey would be shy about selling his Twitter knock-off a second time?

    Bluesky is poorly federated

    Lemmy is excellently federated:

    • Its users are split across many instances with no majority
    • Lemmy, PieFed, and other instance software exists, preventing anyone from seizing control of the network software
