They could defederate servers that don’t do exactly what they want and servers that are defederated might capitulate. The last frame is very possible and we’ve already seen it start to happen with thedonald on shitjustworks.
Edit: that said, I know the Donald comes from Reddit so it’s not the best example. But it’s an example of the method by which the last panel could happen.

ELI5 on thedonald please
It was a super bigoted alt-right subreddit that eventually got banned
Someone recreated it on sh.itjust.works and started posting garbage
The greater fediverse caught wind of it and called for sh.itjust.works to be defederated.
The sh.itjust.works admins got rid of TD (and the user, I believe)
I’m not sure, but I believe at least a couple of instances defederated sh.itjust.works for a bit before letting it back in once action was taken
Thanks!
