Minority groups or people with disabilities would be just as entitled as anyone else at a community meeting to determine what gets done. In Rojava, minorities get to speak first to ensure their concerns are heard by the majority, and issues can be worked out via consensus decision making, which would help ensure that the needs of minorities or people with disabilities are not ignored.

    Yeah, consensus sounds like a good solution I didn't think of. But then there are scaling issues, imo, consensus is not for thousands at once, maybe we get to representatives interacting with neighbouring communities, but that already seems to diverge from original idea

    You're definitely on the right path! A community could elect recall-able delegates (which are distinct from representatives) to interact with other community's or their delegates, which can collectively implement wider rules, such as regulating cross-community electricity grids, or organize bigger projects that would need multiple communities to participate in to accomplish. With that, the different communities can still operate horizontally, but be able to collaborate together with federation, much like how lemmy itself operates :D
