    It’s almost like you don’t understand this whole federation thing.

    If you defederate from communists it just means that you don’t see their posts. Other people do though.

    When people defederate others with the goal of political manipulation (as you are implying is a good thing) it means that communists get to refute your comments and you don’t see them, but others do.

    All you do is take yourselves out of the conversation.
