@0xabad1dea@infosec.exchange Agree with other stuff.
Federation was a "must" for me, but you make me think whether we actually need it if clients can just manage credentials for multiple servers. The friction can still be a bit high to create one account for each server, but maybe OAuth can help

@lesley@mastodon.gamedev.place @0xabad1dea@infosec.exchange Even in the IRC world, real communities got fed up with huge networks and created single-server systems that had no netsplits or admin battles or anything like that. It's 2026: we're no longer limited to 128 users per server on Linux like we were in 1993.
