They wield the instance ban hammer for themselves, while tools for the common plebes are lower priority:-P.

If only plebes could defederate ๐Ÿ˜‚

Speak for yourself - I already have:-).

I'm not kidding btw, PieFed lets you do it, as too do the Sync and Connect apps, I hear. Mbin and base Lemmy do not, nor the other apps e.g. Voyager. The Fediverse is really growing, beyond its original limitations and reaching new horizons!:-)

Oh, I meant letting a user defederate the whole server, for everyone haha

I mean... if you mean a user making that choice for everyone else on their instance, then no - boooo, I wouldn't want that. If you don't want ~~an abortion~~ a defederation, then don't get one, simple as that.

But if you mean being able to block every single user from an entire instance, a true "instance block" rather than a mere "communities mute", then yeah, that's legit what I meant. Personally, I blocked all users from lemmy.ml that way. Though by far the more major effect was probably my piefed.social instance having defederated from hexbear.net, whereas my prior one at discuss.online had not.
