I keep hearing the term in political discourse, and rather than googling it, I'm asking the people who know better than Google.

I’m confused. Maybe I don’t understand federation as well as I thought.

~~This post originates on .ml, right?

So what does .world’s federation status with hexbear have to do with my ability to see hexbear posts on .ml?~~

Edit: Ah, no, the post does in fact originate on .world so .world’s federation status with hexbear is determinant for the lack of hexbear posts, not my individual blocking of the instance.

Yep, the comm is .ml but the poster is .world, ao it's like it's invisible to anyone that can't see both .ml and .world.
