I couldn't find any tools to check this, so I built one myself.

This is a little site I built: the Defederation Investigator defed.xyz. With it, you can get a comprehensive view of which instances have blocked yours, as well as which ones you are federated with.

The tool is open source and available on GitHub. Hopefully someone will find it useful, enjoy.

Sure but that doesn't mean we can't criticize these instances for their stupid decisions.

Why? It's like criticizing what someone does in their own house.

And? Say they throw all their recyclables in the garbage or in their yard. Should I not criticize someone for that?

Or maybe they have a rape dungeon in their basement.

Those things affect other non consenting people. If someone voluntarily joins an instance with mod policies you dislike a) it's their choice b) they are free to leave whenever and move to a different instance

A lot of people on these large instances dont even know they've been defederating from other instances. I have yet to see any instance that actually votes on whether or not they should defederate and it seems wholly decided by the admins of said instance.

Now you understand what an admin is.
