And I was talking about the federation in social networking services. My paragraph still stands in that context. You're response comes across as an incredibly bad faith reading of what I wrote. Federation does not give you a right to expect every instance to want to talk to you. This is the typical left- vs. right-libertarian thinking, where the right-libertarians tend to get all angry and upset when left-libertarians point out that maximising freedom includes maximising our freedom to choose who to associate with and set rules for that association. It's still federation if someone blocks your instance.
