If I want to follow Madonna, and Madonna follows Trump, but the admin of my instance doesn't like Trump's instance, I cannot follow Madonna any more? Or does it only affect pulling all the content and I can interact normally even if the instances don't federate?
- kemotep 3y agoI’m not an admin so I’m not sure. My admin has de-federated with nicecrew.digital as it appears to be full of those kind of comments. If Madonna is on the same instance as Trump that would make it so when your admin de-federated with it you would lose access to Madonna’s posts. In my experience it looks like my instance really is only de-federated from garbage like the commenters from nicecrew. I’m not de-federated from Internet Archive’s instance. I see the majority of the comments when I look up this post from my Mastodon account.
