I’m honestly super confused about what you can and can’t do when federation ties have been cut.

    It might appear so, at least within Lemmyworld. From here I’m speculating, but there still is a report button. If that goes to Beehaw’s mods and admins then it will be annoying for them but at least users outside of Lemmyworld won’t be exposed to it. If it goes to Lemmyworld mods then they can also weed out the unscrupulous users.

      Seems like this effectively creates a community wide version of twitter’s verification check removal.

      Depending upon what instance you’re using to view a community, you could be getting fed disinformation or hate speech and not know it. No?

        Not exactly, because it’s not like mods are on vacation, and I don’t know what incentive trolls would have to post somewhere they can’t get a rise out of most people or spew their propaganda.

        I do think there’s got to be a more prominently displayed flag when within a community that is currently defederated.
