That is correct in theory. But in practice, other servers will block your server if the rules deviate from the mainstream rules, effectively isolating your server.
- Spivak 7y agoWell yeah, what's the point of having rules on an instance if you can just break them by moving to another but still participate?
- mgoia 7y agoThen the comment I replied to was wrong. There is no interconnected network of servers with different rules.

- metildaa 7y agoIf your users post hate speech, child porn or run amok reply guying, then yes your likely to not federate with other instances. For other differing rules, instaces generally silence from the federated timeline. Eg: I can still follow Humblr.social and Sinblr users, but Federated timeline users won't have to drown in porn if the admin silences the server.
- zaarn 7y agoYour server will be isolated from some other servers, but it's actually pretty hard to isolate your instance so that you're completely alone in the fediverse.
