Learn how federation works, or better yet, go back to reddit.

Is there a way to observe inter-instance comment/vote trafic with relation to a specific post or instance ?

[-] brain_in_a_box@hexbear.net 43 points 2 years ago

No idea. Doesn't really matter though, federation means that federated instances share the space.

[-] interdimensionalmeme@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

If it didn't matter, there wouldn't be so much squabbling regarding defederation

The federation isn't actually a shared space. There's no space between the instances. It's all happening from one instance into another.

That's why we're seeing claims of brigadi ng in this thread. Regardless of if it's true or not, As long as we don't have the tools to observe this traffic at a whole and see the trends, those claim will persist because they remain unverifiable by the average commenter.

Is it possible to block all users from an instance at once?

Haha good one!

[-] brain_in_a_box@hexbear.net 22 points 2 years ago

I could be wrong, but I don't think there is at the moment.

Have you tried shutting your eyes, putting your fingers in your ears and singing loudly

Fyi if someone comes across this - best approach on regular lemmy now seems to be to have account with an instance like https://sopuli.xyz/ which has defederated hexbear, lemmygrad, etc. Kbin and some frontend apps allow this as well.
