Questions About Federation
As a non techy person, I'm hoping that someone will be able to answer my questions about this whole hubzilla adventure.

Questions About Federation
I couldn't post these to the linked page
2. Different instances may run on things better suited to one of several purposes. Hubzilla is supposed to be well suited to fandom purposes. It might not be as suited to the specialized needs of vidders, as an example.
3. You set up your 'entity not yet named', and you can communicate with various instances which may or may not be the same sort of beastie. So, like RSS but more so?
4. Someone that's gotten this to work should answer.
5. I think that's correct.
6. I'm not sure.
7. You're supposed to be able to clone and the nettique is that the instance host give proper warning. I suppose them not giving that notice would 'excommunicate' them.
8. Distributed computing and actual monetary are not actually the same fish. Distributed computing is more about not leaving a specific instance as a point where whole communities fail. Think of the difference between knitting and weaving. Distributed computing is more woven, punching holes in it won't make it instantly fail, while knitting can run with fairly small instigation.
9. Good question, I think it depends.
10. Extremely good question.
11 & 12 I also have nothing definitive.
