Yes, but users should be able to manually whitelist defederated instances so they can interact with such an instance, if they want to. Lemmygrad shouldn't be visible by default, but if you really like communist tankie shit, you should be able to manually allow it I guess.
Replace "communist tankie shit" with "CSAM" or "torture porn" or such and see if that makes any sense to you (keeping in mind that all content from your "whitelisted" stuff is stored on the server owner's hardware).
Ok, you're right, I didn't think about that. Let's just say that federation/defederation is a tricky question.
That's called setting up your own instance and running it how you want to
Kinda agree, but chances are high that instances like Beehaw will be unwilling to federate with you
So it's freedom of association you're opposed to then?
But isn't that their own choice then, too?
I mean, why should they have their freedom restricted?
The way activity pub works is that a user subscribes to something and then the content gets copied to your server. If you allow a user to subscribe to whatever they want, then you're just going to get illegal content stored on your server.
