I used packet radio around 1997 before we had an internet connection at home. It was fun to discover and hop from node to node while listening to the data being transmitted through cb radio. It was really slow, but it could handle some small file transfers. Text communication worked best and it was even possible to encrypt the messages. I think the software I used was called graphic packet. Good times.
Edit: Found a screenshot online. This is how graphic packet looked

There are some communities, but they are not very active.
I think they live on a beautiful botfarm somewhere. They come here every day and give us the same alternative links to youtube videos and alike over and over again. Their life is simple. They don’t engage much. They find purpose in the small tasks we give them. And I think they are happy.
It’s non-profit.

I don’t think it federates, but there’s Alovoa, an open source dating platform.
Yes, I should have mentioned that I’ve always played via wired ethernet connection.
I played on Google Stadia from day 1 until it got shut down. I mainly played racing games like F1 and GRID, with the occasional session in RDR2 or The Division 2. Latency was never a problem for me.
The main problem that occured over and over in the community was people’s slow or broken internet connection at home or their WiFi setup.
I would say the technology for cloud gaming is here today, but the home internet connections of a lot of people aren’t ready yet.
Most problems are being solved by turning it off and on again.
