Doesn’t that go against the very point of federation?

in a perfect world yea, but in reality some distance need to be put between the user and some sensitive content: u got the rest of the fediverse to federate with. Legally pursuing Lemmy.world proves that Lemmy is in fact a house of cards against corporations might (a part from the current ddos attacks).well, at least the instance admin would be in danger. U wouldnt want a fellow lemmie to be hurt would u ? consider it an online social distance of some sort. At this rate, any instance with major usercount would be obliged to follow suit and block those communities/instances, Hex might as well block them from now. also we users oblige the instance owner to cache other instances content for us to browse, so having certain defederated blocks would ease the load on the overall instances, and as users, it would be our duty to have multiple accounts in those corresponding blocks, like Hogwarts Houses, or Hunger games districts.
