Is it just me, or has "federated" come to mean just mean multi-tenant SaaS (maybe with some features that cross boundaries) that's also open source?

- corobo 6y agoDoes ActivityPub not count as federated for you? https://docs.joinmobilizon.org/contribute/activity_pub/ https://docs.joinmobilizon.org/contribute/activity_pub/
- detaro 6y agoJust you. Federation still means communication/collaboration between independently run servers.
- mxuribe 6y agoWith all due respect, i think that might just be you. Email has operated as federated for so many years, and while there are certainly large providers like gmail, etc....There are also plenty of non-multi-tenant, non-SaaS instances of email servers (and associated mailboxes).
