I'm already happy with the content here and actually a bit lost with all the variety of content, instances, new communities, links. No great need to look back. But if you need to find equivalent communities, lookie here: https://sub.rehab/

It's the same as when he started talking about "landed peasantry", the projection is strong, aware or not.
Well, if we had a DDOS-like barrage of troll instances, probably a solution would be to institute a "pending federation request" for any new communities.
He's going to make a big announcement...but given his history, it may actually have to do with some artifacts he wants to find down there :)
