I don’t know how any of this works either, but I’m hoping for a solution that makes it harder for owners of large instances throwing their weight around to affect the users so drastically.
Something I can imagine would be the ability to be logged in to multiple accounts at once, so a user could see and interact with multiple unlinked instances seamlessly. Commenting or posting in a community would default to either an account made in that communities instance, or the next available account in a linked instance.
I think this is sort of how it works now, we’re just missing the ability to make the experience seamless.
I had I think tillamook and hagan dazs stacked on top of eachother in my freezer. The hagan dazs was brick hard and the tillamook remained soft and easy to serve. I prefer soft but if you don’t like it give hagan dazs a try.
