What does this term “federated” being thrown around in tech lately mean?
- rrgok 2y agoGood question. I too don't understand it.
- fragmede 2y agoMeaning it's like email. I can have my own domain name - @example.com , not just Gmail, and they talk to each other so people on Gmail can send email outside of Gmail, and people can send emails into Gmail.
- poszlem 2y agoIt means that each federated technology creates a federation of "self-governing" entities, for example Mastodon servers. The meaning is very similar to the political meaning of the word.
