There's no gatekeeper to satisfy because even when one server defederates from you, you are still able to curate and protect your own community.
Personally, who cares if there's some Nazis and trolls less in my feed? ๐ฅด

@boogetyboo there's still a good chance you're using your Internet Service Provider's DNS.
Not only does this mean its super trivial for them to block things they don't want you to access, but this also means they can see (and they probably log) everything you do; no good for privacy or freely accessible info
Try switching to something like quad9, and reboot your devices after to make sure they've cleared their DNS cache
PS:
You can just add dns.quad9.net to Settings > Network > Private DNS on Android if you don't want the app.
The fact that you're not even noticing the federation shows how effective it is ;)
You're probably browsing communities that aren't on Lemmy.world often without realising, I'm here replying to you from wetdry.world (a mastodon instance), and the OP also doesn't come from Lemmy.world
The cool thing about this is that no single server, company, or entity in general gets to decide over the wider fediverse, because everything is spread out and shared between thousands of independent servers. This is completely opposite to what traditional social media services have built.
@max641 a friend of mine (nift4) is working on something called Neo-Wellbeing, but I don't know how far it is at this moment in time; apart from "it isn't ready yet" at least
For now, I'd go with Fisch's reply
Custom ROMs win again!
Fun fact:
The entirety of bluesky was supposed to be an activity pub extension at some point.

If you see this in your timeline, please help out. See above
oh this is awesome, I wonder how this'd look with a dark colorscheme? ๐ค

Well, let me go by example: The strength of E-Mail lies in the fact that its a robust standard that, instead of siloing users into their platforms, brings people together into one single userbase.
Similarly with federation in social media, this makes userbases not compete but collaborate. If I created an ActivityPub-Powered project right now, I'd have to convince nobody to use it and still be part of a community.
One difference however is that social media is public. As the person that runs the server, you do have to put in some measures to make sure that your users are actually feeling safe. The most extreme of these measures is defederation, where you just completely cut off another server, but there's also other ways to limit other servers, like for example, hiding their accounts by default in say the "federated" feed in Mastodon and co.
