There are a couple of governance systems in the world. Parliamentary democracy, direct democracy, anarcho syndicalism, etc.
With its decentralized nature, mostly free movement between communities and instances, which governance system would be closest?
A federation of absolute dictatorships. Some are more enlightened than others but if an instance bans you there is no independent appeal process.
Which I would argue matters less when it’s so easy to move to a different “country” and still participate in everything with little meaningful difference.
Exactly.
