It's fine, but I don't enjoy having to deal with federation stuff. It's doable, but it's not intuitive, and everything is a bit too disorganized.
Yeah going to be annoying when the mods feel all mighty and powerful and start splintering communities here and everywhere. Which is the federation in play however as a user I just want to see my memes.
Oh no, I didn't even think about the possibility of power hungry mods lol
Communities splintering is going to be such a headache, and it's definitely going to happen. I get why people would want to make an instance private-ish by defederating, but the fact that people can still post but not see everything in different versions of the same instance - in my own opinion - kind of a stupid/stressful way of doing it. I feel like, if it's defederated, people who aren't signed up on that instance shouldn't be able to post. I feel like that would be so much more intuitive than creating diverging versions of almost the same thing. I could be wrong though, and we'll just have to see how it goes.
