      Actually I would love an explanation. This bit has always gone over my head. Asi understand it they use stories to communicate but I think I missed context somewhere

        • Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra: Two parties coming together in mutual struggle
        • Temba, his arms wide: An act of giving or generosity
        • Shaka, when the walls fell: Failure or destruction.

        In other words, in the Fediverse, you can offer content to different instances, and if another instance is bad, you can defederate. Tamarian requires a bit of context to make sense. (and that’s why I’m a nerd, Your Honor)
