Admins can remove single remote communities instead of having to defederate the whole instance completely.
How does that work, exactly? I though defederation at the instance level was the only real tool.
If you're an admin you can visit any remote community and click on "remove". You can even remote comments or posts from being visible to users of your instance. It's not ideal because it's on a case by case basis instead of it being an instance-wide silence which is often a better solution that doesn't require you to hunt down remote instances and remove them manually while it also doesn't break federation.
