Boring enough to use #Debian, fun enough to use #Arch • #Hardware & #Software Development • #RapidPrototyping • #EmbeddedSystems — he/him
I don’t post exclusively about one topic. Expect random stuff on #coding, #retrocomputers, #DIYsolar, or things I’m passionate about like #livablecities, #a11y.
I love to chat about my own interests, but also boost/share things that are new to me that I find interesting. #art, #literature, #food, and whatever else, I’m excited to explore it all!

I think one of the best things about the fediverse is that it allows for a diverse set of paradigms.
A “twitter-like” experience isn’t for everyone and it’s great to have variety. I have friends who mostly use bookwyrm—a fediverse “goodreads” alternative—and it’s awesome that I can still follow and interact with them even though I picked a different fediverse option.

All the examples you provided were infrastructure, not social communities, so I think it’s a poor comparison.
Instead, I’d compare AP federation to _social_ constructs. Communities, clubs, groups of friends. Even larger constructs like cities or nation states.
In _those_ examples it’s clear that limiting association is commonplace and healthy.
