@Freefromfall @wolfie @hakui @neatchee What if instances federate with other instances simply because they don't defederate anybody and don't even care though?
This is exactly what I meant with destroying the entire point of federation; just easily offended toddlers being mad at other instances federating with instances they don't like, regardless of them even caring or not.

This would mean that all the soystances will need to block every single non-English speaking instance and all non-western run instances altogether, because those are most likely not even aware of the whole Kiwifarms saga and neither will those instances ever care.
I'm aware, but that's because I'm following some western people.
But the instance owner here is probably not even aware of this at all, at least I think she doesn't know unless she read the article on gnusocial.jp about it.

So, does not even knowing a certain instance exists to begin with count as "willfully federating with a certain instance"?
Reading the block logs on these soystances, it seems like the answer is "yes".
