I feel like here, I don't have 1,400 eyes watching and people trying to destroy me. I know that's not /really/ the case, but you have to take the FTL into account and boosts and how word spreads. And nasty subtooting.
I just have a few trusted people. I can decide who gets let in and who doesn't. And awoo.space federation rules mean my bullshit won't wind up on some instance full of assholes. I like this.
