    Then you risk the same thing you risk on big unified sites. What if I want to talk about Star Trek but break an arbitrary rule on startrek.website? Should I just be banned from discussing Star Trek on all other instances? The entire reason for federation is that each instance can abide by its own rules and norms while also sharing content. If you want a unified service, post on a unified service.

        No I’m not. I’m saying that /c/StarTrek should be allowed to exist on multiple servers and the same link should be posted to each one.

          Then why even have different servers?

            For different user bases. Its the users that matter. Your server is very different from my server.

              Different user bases should have content specific to them. Having spammers posting the same content to every server seems counter to this idea.
