That is quite a selective firewall and more invasive than I thought it would be. I thought de-federating would mean hexbear couldn’t post and comment in dot world threads, but their user never being able to interact even on third instances is quite interesting and a lot of control for one admin to wield over 100k users.
Would dot world users browsing lemmygrad with their accounts be able to see our comments in this thread?
No, they can’t see it, hence the confusion by the dot-world user

Right, that’s the danger of too much centralization in the Fediverse. At least in the Fediverse, you can go to another instance with better admins.
