I feel like that would really skew the data, because it would then just be “instances that defederate some big instances (or just ones that defederate .world) and others that dont”, It’d be hard to ban a major instances worth of users with even a heavy handed “normal” moderation strategy surely?

I think the *current* methodology skews the data; consider that an instance federated with say, Hexbear, is probably going to have significantly *more* individual and community bans than an instance who only made 5-6 bans before recognizing the pattern and blocking the instance. If the goal of this study is to see which places most aggressively moderate their content, you're actually getting somewhat of the reverse.
