    Well technically they could “unfederate” the server and not list it on their recommendations if it continues to violate any policies lemmy devs don’t like. Then the server would be “cut off from the mothership” as it were.

        If a server becomes blocked by some other server(s), then neither can communicate or access the resources of the other, but they can still access resources from the other parts of the fediverse. If a server is unfederated from every other, then they operate as their own separate little island by themselves.

        Users from the banned instance would not see the communities or content from the instance that blocked them. (As I understand this all thing ^^)
