On connect it let's you ban instances. It will overwrite comments from that instance with 'this is blocked due to use being from instance x. Gives an option to show the comment anyway (if the context is different Fi)
I love that feature
Relaxed section for discussion and debate that doesn't fit anywhere else. Whether it's advice, how your week is going, a link that's at the back of your mind, or something like that, it can likely go here.

Defederation is your instance doing the instance blocking. Regular instance blocking is you doing it from a user level and doesn't affect other users. There's many reasons why things should fall under one or the other. If an instance does not defederate, another server's (potentially illegal) content can get cached on their servers for example, or enable a lot more spam. This also is during the recent CSAM attacks so admins are a lot more wary.
