it seems we're now blocking hexbear. i haven't been active recently; did something happen about 8 days ago?

EDIT: it wasn't intentional:

you are viewing a single comment's thread

The user does not have that decision. Instance blocking does not stop users from that instance from interacting with you.

    Then I’m oblivious how lemmy federation works.

    Gotta read up on it

    Mostly that blocking and defederation aren't the same thing. Blocking only stops the comms on that instance from showing up in your feed. It's entirely unrelated to the federation / activitypub mechanic. It's effectively like you turning on a local filter in your client, and only filters communities.

    My experience on my old .world acct was that defederation didn't stop user interactions/comments, just posts and search/discovery.
