What are instances
Instances are servers in the Fediverse, such as your lemmy.zip. In the case of Lemmy, these are servers on which Lemmy runs.
what are federated
Federated is a statement about the connection between instances. lemmy.zip is federated with lemmygrad.ml and vice versa. This means that you can post/comment from lemmy.zip here in lemmygrad.ml, and lemmygrad.ml users can do the same on lemmy.zip.
defederated
Defederated means that the administrators of an instance have severed the connection (the federation) to another instance. For example, lemmy.world defederated lemmygrad.ml. If your account were there, you wouldn't even be able to see this post. For lemmy.world users, it's as if lemmygrad.ml doesn't exist.
You can see which instances lemmy.zip is federated with and which ones the lemmy.zip admins have defederated at https://lemmy.zip/instances.
Has anyone found out who is financing this dubious InterSecLab? Or who the owner is?
I found the following: Home - InterSecLab
And so far, I haven't found anything on the site except propaganda and marketing.
