It’s still accessible but new comments/votes won’t go through properly anymore

Sounds a lot like how Lemmy communities show up on Mastodon. Maybe one day we can have the reverse as well (Mastodon groups showing up as communities)

It’s funny how you can often tell a comment came from Mastodon because the way people type is just different somehow

If you as user block an instance that doesn’t really solve the problem, Threads is still federated and getting your stuff, it’s just hidden from you

Is it more rational than only federating once they’ve proven that it’ll be fine? (instead of waiting for them to prove they’re not)

Pff, get off my lawn

This is awesome! Hopefully it’ll help spread the load among instances. Definitely going to use this to see which instance to move to (and which to avoid)

Can you give an example outside American politics?

what action can it enforce beyond banning or blocking?

Defederation, that’s one of the key concepts of the fediverse
