Comment on Should instances defederate with other instances anymore if we can filter instances out on our end?

You seem to be more interested in the semantics than the topic at hand…

Your original point was that a fediverse without instance blocks would be bad, which is irrelevant to the post because the OP is not advocating for a fediverse without instance blocks:

I used instance block as a synonym for defederating. Now you know what I meant, can we get on with the discussion instead of arguing about things I didn’t mean

Alright. To quote your original comment:
How would removing defederation result in a situation where “every bigot can access anyone and everyone else” if user-level instance blocking was still a thing?
