    Yes but being federated with them means they can have their conversation in your space or overrun it, hence why op is saying it would be better to defederate

      That’s why instances, communities, and users can be blocked and banned. If ‘their conversation’ is not allowed in ‘your space’ then do the thing and move on.

          ‘Do the thing’ is using the tools a user has at their disposal to block other users. Communities can block and ban users too.

          Defederation over moderation is not the thing I am suggesting. Especially not as part of a multiyear campaign perpetuating a bad-faith feedback loop.
