Well that's not an ISSUE with federation, that's just not how it works. What you're imagining is p2p, and there's plenty of options in that realm. Federation implies this structure inherently, in that an administrator runs an instance, and users can use THAT instance. If you build a road on your property, you can decide who drives on it, at your own terms. If a road is built with your contributions, there's usually a committee or collective decision apparatus that decides the rules. You don't always get your way in that case, but the road would be bigger than what you could enable on your own. Hope this helps, love to talk more if not.
