Yup, thus fragmenting the crap out of the fediverse (the last E)
I always saw that as a feature, not a bug. The feature that prevents it from being the last E.
If you see massive fragmentation as a feature then I really don't know what to tell you.
I guess enjoy?
I'm a Linux user. That "fragmentation" is probably a good reason for why that hasn't been extinguished either. So as far as I can tell, yes, I'll enjoy the resilience that that implies without fear of it being extinguished.
I really don't think that's a meaningful comparison.
Federation relies on unity -- fragmentation ruins that.
Well, you can stick to instances that federate with Threads even if/when they misbehave then, but having the option not to is pretty great, from my perspective.
Sure, that's great while it's still just "instances that do federate with threads" and "instances that don't federate with threads".
