    It kinds of works like shadow banning because defederation means one instance doesn’t get updates from the defeded one… but the defeded one can still be federated with the one that defeded them, so users on that can still see and comment on posts, but they aren’t displayed to people using the defeded instance. So they’re just posting into the void. But people on their instance and I guess other instances can still see them of course.
