What? The question was literally “Should instances defederate with other instances anymore if we can filter instances out on our end?”.

Defederating = instance block

Defederation is done by the instance administrator and affects all users. Instance blocking is done by the user and affects only them.

Instance blocks have been admin/instance level before user level instance blocks were a thing. User level instance blocks are more accurately user level filters. Only admin level instance blocks are true blocks.
Admin level blocks are what I’m referring to in this conversation and that most people assume when they see the term “instance block”
