All the complications with federation and fitting poorly-defined "communities" into well-defined servers, and the author's idea of "neighbourhoods", are incredibly prone to failure. From experience, I only got along with a few people in such small "communities", and, at best, felt no connection whatsoever with the rest; thus I can only reject the idea that having a small and rigid community is ever a good idea. I seriously think that having to pick just one community, and then manage everything via a community, is the cause of most moderation/administration/management/etc disasters on the Fediverse.
Servers should just be public utilities, and no further associations should be given to them; leave the people who use them to decide what a community is!
