I see, that makes sense. Also why did they remove your comment?

I don't know, I thought that maybe it could cause issues since some remote servers might feel insulted or upset by such a request being made to them, and they might get upset at my home instance for it. I don't know how likely it is, and whether or not admins might blame the user for starting such a conflict.

I'm thinking the servers I might do it for will very likely start trouble over it. I wouldn't be looking to do this if they were calm and rational servers (yes one of them is Hexbear).

I'm looking for answers from instance admins, if you're a regular user, you can still answer but it's more helpful for me to get answers directly from admins.

If a user on [instance A] asked another instance (Instance B) to remove their federated account and federated content copies from instance B (likely also banning it so content doesn't continue to flow) would the user on Instance A be in trouble with their instance admin for asking for such a thing.

Obviously it depends on the instance's rules but that's part of why I'm asking the question, to get answers from instance admins on this.

On one hand I can see how it would since, since it hurts interoperability and can create tension between instances, but on the other hand a user has the right to be in specific places or not be in those places, that probably extends to not wanting to be federated into an instance they find objectionable (assuming it is for good reasons).

I would probably do what was described only for an instance like Hexbear, Lemmygrad, or the one alt-right troll instance on Lemmy. One where nothing good really comes out of being with them. Instance blocks can keep their communties and posts out of my feeds, and I'd definitely do that, but if I want to keep their trolling and emoji spam out of my comments, there isn't exactly a better way to do it. Having an instance manually ban me isn't something I'd do for any ordinary instance, it has to be an extremely troublesome one, like the ones I mentioned.

I know that some people get along great in places like hexbear, but for me they've just been confrontational to me on my main.
