Of course it’s politically motivated, trump is a shit political leader.

He’s done exactly 2 things I agree with, kill the useless penny, and say he’ll pass a “congress can’t trade stocks” law.

There’s always gonna be an admin of some kind unless we all run our own instances, but that ends up with everyone just in large echo chambers again, as they federate only with people they agree with, or to scream at people they don’t.

A technical question regarding federation:

Why not leave it up to the individual users to federate with an instance or not?

So everything is accessible from everywhere else, but little subgroups form over time. When trolls find a space, those groups can block them out.
