  • Every community lives on its instance(server).

    When you browse your Local feed it only shows communities that live on the same instance you made your account on.

    For federation: When you want to see a community on a different instance your instance will download a copy of the community from it’s home instance. Then if you make a change, like an upvote or a comment your community makes the change on its local copy, then it sends a copy of the change to the original community.

    When two instances are defederated they stop sending or receiving updates from each others communities.





  • Conscription is not good or needed, the modern military is equipped with a wide array of technology and the best training available, it takes year(s) to fully train a soldier. There was a time when you could hand a consript a gun and point him in a the right direction and you had an army, in a modern conflict that lack of training is lethal.

    Also in an all volunteer force it’s hard enough to manage groups who volunteered to be in the military, I can’t imagine controlling people who were forced to be there.
