Is there an article about this defederation with the people who we likely should be engaging in discourse?

Left-wing instances were defederated preemptively, as a last resort because the admins feared they would “dismantle western propaganda”. Right-wing instances were defederated after they wouldn't moderate their users posting CSAM, gore, and nazi shit.

Getting some real George Bush Jr invading Iraq energy off this phrasing.

seems like it would have been more productive to infiltrate and doxx than just to look away.

They aren't always defederated. Most users can still use conservative@lemm.ee, but most don't bother because absolutely nothing ever gets through to the conservative users of that community no matter what sources or evidence to support arguments are used. It's like talking to a brick wall. Some of the users like MomoTimetoDie are outright hostile.

It’s the same everywhere is MAGAs.
