I’m trying to understand this as a refuge from Reddit. I joined this instance because of the renewable energy commitment. I’m not beholden to this instance, but this seems like something a federated system could handle without banning an instance. Am I confused about how this works?

    No- it can be easily handled multiple other ways too.

    1. If users don't subscribe to the community, the community doesn't federate elsewhere.
    2. Users can individually block the community and/or user responsible.
    3. Admins, at an instance level, can block the community and/or user.

    At THIS instance level (sh.itjust.works) 4. The community can be removed/blocked. This removes it globally.

    Defederation is the complete nuke-from-orbit option, which should only be reserved when you have an instance that is unwilling to work with you to resolve issues.

    Aka- you have an instance, owned by spammers, producing spam bots causing negative user experience.

    I joined this instance because of the renewable energy commitment.

    I keep hearing this. Maybe. I should update my instance and let everyone know my server runs on pure sunlight too. lol
