One thing federation makes me worry about is instances that are spun up on a whim without commitment to hosting/maintenance/moderation on the part of the admin. I feel like people who join online social spaces have an implicit (possibly unjustified) expectation that the space will last indefinitely, but I don't know if every admin wants to be signing up to do the work indefinitely.
