Is there a good overview of the federated model that explains things like: What stops the nazis from making their own instances and making the federated timeline unusable? How can people compare instances for best fit? What happens to your account information when an instance goes down or dies?
Or are we making this all up as we go? Are there examples this is mimicking?
@nancybaym Nazis are free to make their own instance. But every other instance is also free to blacklist their instance and so ban them from the federated timeline.
And even that becomes only necessary if someone from the non nazi instance follows someone from the nazi instance.
