For friends that I know, they can just ask me and I'll give them a login secret. I don't have the headspace to manage fedidrama.
LoL, we dont. Accounts are issued to individuals. My local sysadmin cosplay group encourages people to make their own instances with small user counts and to federate the services with each other. That way if one users network goes out as residential networks are want to do, communication is not completely down for the collective.
