Likely defederated from your instance. It is from mine.

idk how you guys can stand your instance deciding what you can and can't see, i purposely chose an instance that federates with essentially everyone.

i keep an eye on what community and instance i'm looking at and posting on but I like to see all the different posts and communities and decide for myself.

I generally agree with you , but if anything I think my admin is too permissive and continues to federate with instances who really should have gotten the boot ages ago. So long as that state remains true I'm happy to continue staying where I'm at.

The nature of federation is such that it's going to naturally cause people to congregate along ideological lines, and as long as the threshold for migration is as high/low as it is (impossible to migrate an account, but trivial to abandon one and make a new one), my only 'requirements' are 'dont cross the pain threshold, I don't want to do more work to shitpost on the internet'.
