ITT: People in their mid-twenties or later, who feel superior to those that like one form of media over their preferred media.
Elitism aside, I don't really see what federation solves here. What benefits does federation offer the user? How does the recommendation algorithm give users what they want? How will a decentralised platform perform the kind of centralised events a platform like TikTok is known for?
Federation can solve the danger zone content for you, how about a federation network with just kids content, other with more adult ones, etc to the just nsfw isolated from each others?
That's...actually a really good use case for something like this. I'd argue that a recommendation algorithm that tailors to the best content a given federated service can provide for their use-case is probably a better source than what you'd get from a single source of truth that could give you everything and nothing.
