Federation is a revocable privilege contingent upon instance staff maintaining a community that other instances feel safe connecting to. If staff fails to meet that obligation, the privilege is revoked. This allows moderation to scale across millions of users.

|
|
|
If users are unhappy with their social circle getting broken, they should demand better from their admins or choose an instance that aligns with their values.
|

|
|
Instances aren't just infrastructure and vanity domain names: they're the building blocks of communities, and their moderation actions—including defederations—are affirmations of shared community values.
