I've noticed that a singular authority just *cannot* maintain a social media because they don't have the manpower to do so for such a large world. I think the federated approach we have scales with the community as it grows, as it allows a very dynamic environment which is overall beneficial to everyone.

With different rulings and different needs, with shifting cultures and changing opinions, the divide and conquer solution feels like the best way to go about managing a community. Pretty resilient to corruption too; if an instance gets bought out or if someone gets replaced, and it gets mishandled, other instances can take action to protect themselves.
