Perhaps a case to be made for a federated minimum-config. If servers don’t adhere to a minimum viable contract, say meeting requirements for rate-limiting, or not requiring 2fa, or other config-level things… They become defederated.
A way of enforcing adherence to an agreed upon minimum standard of behaviour, of sorts
Spoofing that handshake would be a bad faith action, one that would not go unnoticed longer term. Instances with a bunch of bad faith actions will make the case for not federating with themselves.
