Gregory's Server@J12t something about this suggests service as a commodity β the very nature of the being widely and easily replicated.
Commodity community?

  @jamesmarshall @scouten to me, itβs insufficient Lu specific. There are so many structures that are described as federated, of various shapes and forms, and many (most?) of them have really powerful superstructures, unlike what we have in the fediverse, where we have basically none. Example: countries considered to be federated: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federated_state  @J12t @jamesmarshall @scouten you may also be interinterested in https://github.com/socketsupply/socket |
@scouten Part of the problem with a term is that one can come at this from so many angles (like tech vs governance) and the terms will likely be different based on that.
Right now, what I'm personally interested in is the name for a technical architecture pattern. Like client-server, or thin client, or P2P, or LocalFirst, or ... I think "federated" or "decentralized" is insufficiently precise.
