right, but you cant interact unless you create an account there, thus fragmenting the 'fediverse'
I don't see it any differently than a subreddit being banned, at least those users still keep whatever content and community they created. Defederation is just a moderation tool. At the very least, it appears there is consensus among admins and user polls in some instances before defedersting.
Well ,if your home instance is defederated, you're essentially blocked from another instance, not just a community.
It's no small thing to defederate, beehaw has many communities, all not accessible across Lemmy now
