I am not familiar with the term, "federated" or its meaning... I'm hoping to get some serious answers and perhaps even some comedic answers....

Edit: thank you to all who answered my call for enlightenment. I'm even more confused (and hopeful) than I was before!

    Short answer, the software that runs Hexbear was updated to the newest version. The site was previously running on a very modified and old version. Now that it's updated, it's likely going to be easier to stay up to date in the future.

    That means it's easier to get new features and performance and security fixes for "free" thanks to work of developers of the original software.

    And equally importantly, it might be easier for the admins/devs to let us all keep posting.

    Everything else is just people debating over some of the new features in the latest version.
