I’m pretty sure if we’re excluding instances with troll farms or hosting illegal material, the map of Lemmy instances is still kind of a single amorphous blob, with nearly all connected instances being just 1 connection away from their blocked instances. These can’t be defined as isolated instance-clusters. Lemmy.world users seem to always know what hexbear users are up to because of their federated neighbors, lol.

Nah, they think they know what hexbear users are up to because random folk make shit up and nobody calls them on it, because they’re defederated.
I see you also know about PugJesus.
The stuff random folk “make up” perfectly aligns with the experiences I had before I blocked them, so I have no reason to call them on it.
