I am not criticizing them, I'm just out of the loop.

I'm also on SDF. Can confirm that while we're still federated with exploding-heads, I never see their content in my feeds. Ever.

    Interesting. I wonder if the main community they spam in are just banned and not the instance. I got so much spam from one user who posted like several things an hour all day with no engagement on any posts when I would sort by new before we defederated. It was weird.

    If no one on that instance subscribed to a community, doesn’t it not show up in your all feed? Maybe just no one on that instance subscribes to any explodingheads communities.

    I think this is the key. There’s no need to defederate if nobody’s subscribing to their content in the first place on your instance.

    Seeing a flood of content you dislike on your instance from another instance means there’s at least one person on your instance subscribing to it.
