Defeats the whole purpose tbh. Federation means decentralisation, single point of failure architecture in that is asking for trouble.

Problem with that is that is catering to a certain set of people while ignoring a whole larger user base that Mastodon could appeal to.
Probably easier for social graph exploration TBH, it's one of Mastodons main handicaps.
Doesn't factor in cost of living, probably only exchange rates. Also Japanese coffee is terrible.
Allowing different markets seems like the only alternative to side loading/homebrew. It was easier to develop games back in the day when you didn't have too grovel to the device company overlords, this regulation just takes us back to that (sort of).
Thing is (me personally speaking) i have an ideological preference towards decentralisation and I'd prefer if people more got used to having decentralised infrastructure rather than sticking to the old model (in form, not function).
