I get all the references, but I still don't get it.
Anyone care to explain?

Freeze portions. This way I only have to eat something a couple times, and I get ready-made stuff for a few days from now.
Almost everything freezes fine.
Pretty much all farming should be produced more locally.
50 years ago our food was much more local in the US. There were orchards and greenhouses where I grew up.
With today's materials and electromechanical tech, greenhouses would be very effective all over the US.
Why are we shipping apples and grapes from Chile, to California, which then go on trucks all over the US? No way that's more energy efficient than local greenhouses, and orchards.
Didn't they do this once before, like early 2000's?
That, at least, looks like it's trying to be an information provider and you can choose what to do with that info.
And even that is fraught with risk, it's challenging to do well and remain impartial.
Choosing to be authoritative about who can federate with who sounds a lot like email today.
It's definitely something to be concerned about and fediseer seems to be trying to get ahead of the problem before the fediverse suffers the same fate as email.
That's why you have the phone call, to discuss it, and in closing state you'll send an email.
I don't disagree it's a focus thing for many people. I'm often stunned at the lack of comprehension or attention to detail using any medium, even in person (also technical field).
Like look, I just said to do what you're asking would require 250 firewall rules...why are you now talking as if firewall rules aren't required? I even went through the simplest math out loud during this meeting, so everyone would understand how I came up with that number and didn't just pull it out of my ass.
People pay attention to what they want to pay attention to (or as my grandfather would say - people hear what they want to hear). If those questions aren't a high priority for their own work, they simply don't see them.
For OP: email is a terrible medium for such things, unless there's been a conversation about it, and this is part of moving a project forward. Anything out of left field isn't important to your audience, and... people dislike comitting to anything in email. As you work with people up the food chain, you'll find less and less happens via verifiable comms like email (which is archived).
panel of federated instances
Nope, can't see anything going wrong with that idea.
The great thing about federation is any instance owner can already do this, you're just asking to create an organization that decides who can federate. May as well be bluesky or reddit then.
At best you get a few major instances who together decide who can federate with them, and then those "major" instances lose traffic because people get annoyed with such nonsense and don't federate with them, their traffic slowly decreases, and eventually they become irrelevant.
Worst case: reddit.
If a few instances decide to pull this nonsense, I'll do all I can to avoid them. May make me setup my own just to ensure I don't have to deal with such authoritarians.
Safety.
See that minivan, where the driver is over the front wheels? That means the crumple zone is you. The US stopped making that design in the early 70's because of the lack of crumple zones.
So thank all the people who complain when the smallest injury happens in an accident, and blame the vehicle. This makes safety requirements stronger (which has largely been a good thing), but makes Kei trucks unsellable in the US.
Wait, did you grow up in my trailer park?
Check out ReThink DNS. I'm testing it currently, has some neat features.
Ah, OK, I didn't miss anything. Thanks!
