Thank you for the quick reply!
1-way defederation is interesting, but it seems like could it be used as a tool to try and force users on to one instance as then they get the most access to everything. Though I also see that it’s useful in cases of abuse or brigading. Lots to get used to, but it’s quite fun.
Thanks again for answering!
The line workers would not be aware of power coming from the load side and therefore may accidentally work on a live line and die.
Most rooftop solar that plugs into the grid is set up to switch off if power goes out for this reason.
This is mostly and educated (from a solar class years ago) guess.
