how can i know the de/federation status of the instance? IIRC the instance subscribed to an auto-defederation program to auto exclude bot instances and such. is there a way to distinguish these from the manual defederations? like exploding heads, or hexbear (i thought we were defederated from them but i’ve just seen the old posts from their users here on /c/main)

i’m asking just to have a way of knowing wich parts of the fediverse are hidden from view, since it’s not obvious to me

also would like to know if there is a plan on the instance about threads? i’ve scoured The Agora but found nothing. wouldn’t mind creating a discussion there

EDIT: just found the answer to my first question on another post: https://sh.itjust.works/instances

      No problem.
      Ideally speaking, we’d rather not defederate too much, but instances dedicated to child porn, spam, and unmoderated hate don’t leave much of a choice.

      Note that these lists don’t necessarily include instances that defederated us.
