      I have four accounts on the four instances that host communities I am interested in.

      It’s a mild pain and definitely not what we were promised, but I guess that’s the only way federation can really work in practice (especially considering when an instance is blocked user on the blocker side just continue to see it frozen in time, with no warning as to what’s going on)

        I think this is precisely what the ActivityPub model of federation promised, actually 😅

        I think a solution would be to have instances without communities.

        It sucks, but I’m really trying to find instances with the most federation. I’d rather censor things myself than to have some useful idiot do it for me.

        “Instance A blocked instance B, so now we have to use instance C to communicate with both.” Seems kind of roundabout, which is why I’m looking for the ‘ever-C’ instance that federates with the most.

          The issue is that depending on where the Instance is located can mean that the person is liable for the content on their instance, or at least some corps will try to take them to court over that.

          It would be really nice to have something you’ve described, but then who hosts the community and becomes liable?

          I mean, the real end solution is to host your own server. Then you can federate/defederate with whoever the hell you want. As long as you don’t do anything to get banned from a specific instance, you’ll be fine.

          But that’s more work than most people are willing to put into a Reddit clone.
