yes, it is. I take notes and some of the output is put into the MRF policies for Krowverse Services Federation, my limited instance.

I prefer follow-only over defederation because it constrains activities in much the same way without breaking the network. Of course, illegal content, technical debt and admin request are still sufficient grounds for defederation.

I'm considering creating a new instance that uses Niche Federation, meaning it is dedicated to federating with instances that follow a specific topic.
