    Ah, I see. Thanks for entertaining my question.

    I think my only concern about federating is the ability to de-federate. I like that I don’t have to see racism, homophobia, etc. but I’d hate to see any further politicization around “facts”, and I worry that federation could lead to different versions of truth.

    Probably less of a concern on Go vs. Rust. Cheers!

    Maybe I don’t see the value in federation purely for federation’s sake, since things like Wikipedia still accept edits from all users, aren’t charging for usage (yet), etc.

    But, I’d love to make sure that Wikipedia sticks around for a while, so while I’m a monthly donor, I’d also love to hear ideas for distributing it to prevent a single point of failure. To my feeble understanding, this sounds like a perfect use for Blockchain, but correct me if I’m wrong.

    Also, first Lemmy comment, yay!
