I don't think federated social Media is necessarily helpful for unifying diverse social groups of varying views. At least at how it is currently developed.
@wolfi I would argue that the issues is not the tech but the: dealing with different social groups of varying views.
And I am being quite soft in that description as there are groups that on the complete opposite side.
What federated social media does, is it allows each group to have it's own rules, setting up their instances under their rules, instead of one company to set their rules for 400 million users.
But even on the birdsite those groups do not come together to talk.
Sure you can argue that blocking instances, made it easier to just not wanting to hear the "other side".
But even without those rules...
yeah, im not even arguing against federated or centralized software, it was just an observation
