Defederation means they consume all of the data from ActivityPub, you consume none of theirs.

It's not that simple.

Their instance will be sent the data only if the post originates on an instance/community that is still federated with their instance. If a new post or comment is made in a community who's instance isn't federated with their instance, it will not be sent via ActivityPub. A more detailed explanation of how that works is in this post.
