Here’s a diagram

Since those diagrams were made, beehaw.org defederated from lemmy.ml. But they also have lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works defederated so it’s… not a popular choice.
PieFed has the concept of silencing another instance. A silenced instance is not defederated from but their posts do not show in the Popular or All feeds and their communities are not shown during onboarding. Their communities can still be found in the communities list (if you unblock the instance first) and joined in the normal way. Once joined, posts in there show up in the Subscribed feed of the joiner as usual.
Since I added silencing functionality I feel like there’s almost no need for (more) defederation. I can offer protection to newbies who don’t yet know which places to avoid and they can explore the dark corners when they’re ready. It’s a low-drama way to put a bit of distance between groups that rub each other the wrong way.

beehaw.org defederated from lemmy.ml
Good move from thé admins. I thought interacting with lemmy.ml would be worth it to see a wider range of opinions, avoid the bubble effect. It felt like interacting with another bubble that hates introspection and reject all critical comments outrights. Got quickly banned from on community with the reason “nazy” after I pointes out Iran’s human right violations, in a post about Iran and human rights. In retrospect those interactions where a total waste of time.

Wait the only thing .ml has defederated from is fedinsfw? How random…

Lemmy.world’s is a shithole too, so maybe beehaw is the right choice.

Why not just defenders from them entirety? It’s not like they hold any value at all.
