The way I understand it: -you are somewhat at the mercy of the instance where you have your account(aka your home instance) -if your home instance defederates assholes.com, you can still see their posts but cannot vote or comment on assholes.com -you can get around this by creating a second account on assholes.com. You'll just have to remember to switch accounts
(Where is that guy on YouTube to explain this stuff)
I thought defederation meant that you wouldn't be able to see the posts either? For example, quite a few Lemmy instances defederated lemmynsfw.com because they didn't want their users seeing NSFW content.
