[Murray] that said, the term "federated" is not one I've ever come across outside of economics (where I'd agree with j12t that it implies a _grouping_ or some kind of external-entity access) or _Star Trek_ IRL. I know it's what Mastodon etc. use but it's never made a lick of sense and it's one of the reasons why I just can't be bothered to look into that space 😄
