    Some instances choose to “defederate” other instances, which means that users from one won’t be able to see or intract with content from the other. This is primarily meant to combat instances that create spam or host illegal content, but many instances use it for political purposes.

      And without that capability, every instance would be a cesspool of Nazi and pedo content flooding in from the Fediverse’s dark side.

        The instance I’m on doesn’t seem to block any other instances and I’m not seeing any Nazi or pedo content.

          hello fellow sdf’er :) I specifically chose SDF so I could choose what to block myself, and so far I have just blocked a lot of anime. Anything political I see is leftist.
