federation is supposed to give different levels of control. you can, as a user, block the users and instances (and communities, i suppose).
instances can also block users and other instances.
the idea is that contradictory instances wont be in constant conflict. like, a instance called “SuperiorHeterosexual” wont be federated with “GayPower”
i dont know about lemmy, but there are levels of (des)integration in Mastodon: Silencing, Defederation and Block.
some admins may shit on proportionality and go on a power trip. that is true. the good thing is that you can create another account in another instance you like and trust the admins more.
