    The ability to defederate anyone is literally what defines federation. There is no “the fediverse” unilaterally, that’s the entire point.

      Yes, but at some point you gotta ask the question why even be in the fediverse if you’re so picky about who you wanna federate with. I personally would want my instance to federate with everyone, I can pick what I want to see myself. But as I said, their decision.

        Everyone is just by default assuming they want to be part of the fediverse, rather than they saw Lemmy as the most viable piece of software to realize the type of platform/community they’re want to create. They’ve made clear from the start that they want a more heavily moderated and curated community, and that is by definition going to be mean excluding people and instances that go against that.
