I'm not sure why I feel this way. I don't want to get too much into anything, but when people say they create their own echo chambers Yada Yada thing, even though I would agree with that, it's interesting to see how people who believe different things, are just amongst eachother.

I wish there was a way to get all defederated or isolated instances to not necessarily federated but connect in a way where a user can see their feeds but you still can't reply if that instance has you on their blocked list idk

    Federation is an attempt to recreate reddit. So they impose on themselves redditisms and make themselves bland enough to be reddit. Before reddit there were many message boards and social sites for different topics, hobbies, localities, etc. Some of these still exist today but they're usually pretty empty but for the random 50 year olds who have diligently been posting pictures of skyscraper construction projects for the past 25 years.
