   @bortzmeyer @nolan If they all have the same policies, federation still means that when one goes down, it doesn't bring the whole network with it.

     @nightpool I guess that also steps into "how do we prevent it" though, because the default mode of doing moderation tooling in Mastodon may eventually push Mastodon to likewise become a bunch of silos.

     This is one reason I feel user-centric anti-abuse tooling may be better... but admittedly the UX on that is hard to figure out.

     @nightpool @nolan
     or maybe there are two options:

     Big city instances where your admin is knd of faceless and you're just doing your own thing with your own friends in a sea of people doing the same,

     And small town instances where everybody knows their neighbors.

     Much like physical communities, they both have advantages and disadvantages and suit different people.

     There's not a "need" for everyone to exist in one type of environment that makes the other "pointless".

     awoo.space and the instances they agree to federate with are a bit like this.
