Federation actually makes no sense. It's not a global network like twitter; you are under the mercy of the admins of the node you are on. You might get suspended without an option to pull your data and migrate to a different node. Nodes can cut each other off if they don't like each other's politics. So you can't just joina a node and be on the network. You have to find an instance that aligns with your politics.
