What is the point of posting a screenshot (that is poorly cropped to boot) of what is clearly a page you could have just linked?

Also, what exactly do you mean "top"? The instances that have defederated from the most other instances? The phrasing here is odd.

Looks like the instances that have defederated the most other instances, rather than been defederated by the most.

It looks like it’s this page:

If you're defederating a lot, most of it will be tiny instances you got from some blocklists, so I don't know if this really says much

In simple terms, they are no longer a part of the Fediverse and will be solo?

[-] ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone 19 points 5 months ago

No. It just means that they've blocked a lot of other fediverse instances.

[-] thesocavault@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

Thanks. So they have a specific reason or just varies. I'm new to this fediverse thing.

Mostly, it will be instances blocking troll and hate instances. But the line of what is acceptable varies from one instance/admin to another. The instances on the top of this list most likely just have a lower threshold for tolerating shitty behaviour

It might not necessarily be that the instances are stricter, it could also simply be that those instances are targeted more often by hate/trolls so interact with those instances more often. Admins are less likely to defederate from an instance they've never seen or heard of. I see a lot of obviously LGBT-related names in this list which likely get more hate than average.

It might not necessarily be that the instances are stricter, it could also simply be that those instances are targeted more often by hate/trolls so interact with those instances more often.

It's both of those things IMO. Being stricter comes about because of being targeted more. It's not always just responsive reactions to abuse. Often it's pre-emptive defederation even before abuse is received, just to ensure it never happens. And that's the part where "stricter" comes in to it, because a lot of generalist instances are happy to respond only if and when another instance becomes a problem

At least, that's how it works on the queer instaces I admin :)
