Should instances defederate with other instances anymore if we can filter instances out on our end? (lemmy.world)

Instance owners are responsible for the content that is mirrored on their instance through federation, so they definitely should.

Responsible in what way?

Legally responsible, for one.

I.E. If a federated instance hosted pedophilia, that content would be copied to, and served by, your instance's infrastructure, which is obviously legally problematic.
