  The posts, not comments by the users

  I don’t know how many times Meta has to literally be worse than a movie villain for people to stop having stockholm syndrome

  If every single person who walks on to that street gets instantly beaten, stabbed, or have pedophilia shoved in their face, I would absolutely want someone to stop me from walking down that part of the street.

  There is a reason that thousands of instances all block these instances of their own accord, and it’s not because that instance provides any value whatsoever to any who decides to open it. It’s almost like it’s, you know, dangerous to be connected with that kind of content?

  I dunno, if there’s a street that says “walk down this street to get stabbed” I’d take a wild guess that that street should probably have a safeguard preventing people from walking down it, It’s just common sense.

  One way to think of it is to think of each instance as a person, and everyone that they federate with is someone they follow, and anyone that they’re defederated with is someone they’ve blocked.

  So if one instance follows (federates) with another, that instances users will see posts and users from that other instance.

  If an instance blocks (defederates) with another, it prevents the instance from sending or receiving any new posts or comments with the blocked instance, cutting all communication.

  Instances that aren’t explicitly federated or defederated yet (unknown) are sort of in a limbo, they won’t be seen at all by any users unless someone from either instance actively searches for it via a link, then those server will follow (federate) with each other.
