i wonder what closed federation would be like. having one really big circle seems to always lead to an echo chamber and you have to be quite careful to not make a sound that ends up bouncing around in anger for days

and i just want a nice quiet calm community and i am not interested in anything outside my circle of friends and occasionally their friends (sometimes i like them and then i wanna be friends with them too)

every time there's drama it feels like less of a safe space because anger spreads the fastest and it's emotional and messes with cognition. even more so with groupthink
