Recently I was browsing some communities I typically hang out in and I started noticing Hexbear accounts being… well their typical selves.
Which made me check which account I was on because I’ve got a few, and when I noticed I was on my Blahaj account I had to check and it looks like we’re federated again?
Why?
The problem with instance block on a user basis is that points still get federated over
So even if you block the instance then the community can still be influenced by the other community without you ever seeing their accounts

Maybe that’s a problem but personally I disable vote scores and read all the comments anyway so I don’t care that much what people vote. I don’t think my instance is going to defederate hexbear so I’m looking forward to it.
A lot of people do view content with votes, which if people see how the community reacts to certain kinds of posts and comments via votes then discussions would still be steered at large in a community
