FOSS social networks are literally perfect for specialized instances. There could be a incel, nazi, or libertarian instance just like there is lemmygrad. They'd probably get defederated, but so do the real leftist instances. They could form their own federation. They'd be completely free to moderate themselves as they see fit.
I know that and it's a good thing. But FOSS networks are unable to be general and all inclusive. That's what I'm usually talking about and something I feel like they lie about.
