I read a lot about Threads and defederation. And I only have a vague Idea what defederation is.

    Defederation = the defederating server refuses to talk to the other server.

    Imagine Hotmail and Gmail. Hotmail decides to defederate from Gmail. Going forward, any Gmail user trying to send mail to Hotmail will simply be ignored, and Hotmail will ignore any email bound for Gmail.
