Fundamentally I've always been uncomfortable with the fact that Fediverse nodes aren't interchangeable in some critical ways - that your identity is tied to a single node, not the aggregate whole. This highlights why.

Having nodes control moderation and the like on traffic that originates in and flows through their node makes sense. Having your identity tied to a node has always seemed wrong to me.

edit: and to Ash, best wishes in taking care of your family in this difficult time. I imagine that giving up on your admin volunteer role was a very difficult decision but you did the right thing.
