This feels very confusing. Sombody from lemmy.ml is gonna reply to me not knowing they are defeded.

I think there should be a label telling users from lemmy.ml saying “This user’s instance has defederated your instance”.

      I mean, I don’t care if people accidentally waste their time making mean comments that I can’t see, but the problem is if .ml can still the see posts, they can downvote and I wouldn’t be see those downvotes to be able to know if there’s brigading.

        Why do you care about votes?

        What makes you think that a defederated instance votes are still captured?

        Why do you care about what happens on another instance?
