ITT: people confused about the difference between defederation and moderation
I don't see anything like that, there's no moderating other instances beyond defederating the instance. You can't moderate the Nazis from other instances
I have my own instance and that doesn't seem to be true. On a post on a community hosted on lemmy.ml, someone posted a picture as a comment of someone taking a shit on someone else, and I was able to remove that comment and ban them from my instance. Obviously other instances would still see that comment, but anyone on my instance shouldn't. Or at least that how I think it works.
Exactly right. In the end, we can only control the content hosted/available on our servers. Whether we do that via outright blocking entire servers or individually blocking bad actors or patterns of behavior is up to us.
