@Cyborus Ultimately what this comes down to is looking at the problem in a different _frame_.
For example, in discussing server migrations: The question is not "can I make it so that two servers that both have 12 deployments each and cannot talk to anyone else can be easily migrated between."
But rather: what would it take so that the average deployment—and the median fediverse user/instance—can easily migrate?
This also allows us to compare affordances with, say, BlueSky.
