I still see posts from other instances on beehaw communities, and it makes me wonder: If those posts can’t be seen by the mods, then is there simply no moderation possible for them (other than the instance owner, I guess)?

    Sure, but instance B has many users, and they can all now use B’s view of C@A as an unmoderated forum to post Evil Stuff. No moderator on B can do anything about that; the B admin can maybe only just ban those users?

    This is kind of analogous to the problem on IRC of who gets ops on a channel in a netsplit. Currently the “split” of A defederating from B causes B’s view of C@A to have no ops. (At least, if I’m understanding correctly.)
