You know how on Reddit people were always bitching about the mods or admins? With federation, you can choose your mods and admins. Still won't stop you from getting banned from certain communities, but if mods take it too far, you can just start a community on a different server.

Like a democracy or what? Lol. How do you choose them?

The instance can control it and another instance can create a "competition" of the same instance. Diffrent mods for each and not being locked to 1 type.

Though hopefully we get something similar to supper communities that are multiple of the same under 1 listing

I kind of like the idea of someone “campaigning” to be a mod. It could be a highly entertaining shitshow.
