   The HN discussion perpetuates the usual misunderstanding of a #Federated network. People claim they must have accounts on multiple instances in order to follow conversations there. But a person really needs only one account on one instance because they can follow accounts on other instances *because Federation*! https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14157801

     @bobjonkman As if HN has ever had a sane and informed discussion on any topic.

     It's unfortunate that HN doesn't federate, as I can't join the discussion without becoming a customer and giving away data to some random capitalist "incubator" with nothing but an interest to make money off from me rather than give me a platform to discuss news on. Then maybe I could've replied to some illiterate crap there.

     @bobjonkman @verius HN is typically not a site of technological wisdom
