Yeah pretty much. About a year ago, a lemmy.ml admin βremovedβ community !conservative@sh.itjust.works for bigotry, which essentially defederated it.
now i wonder why entire instances have been defederated instead of only the communities they don't like.
For one example, exploding-heads.com was a haven for fascists, and we wonβt have them in our communities.
Defederating the community just gets rid of the posts. Defederating the entire instance gets rid of the posts AND the users.
Some defederate from .ml because it's full of tankies.
-- to their detriment and good riddance.
