Is mastodon.social defederated by a notable amount of other instances? (lemmy.world)

I'm currently on mastodon.social for my instance, and I was informed the other day that because of poor moderation it's been permanently defedereated by enough instances to make it an issue for users there to have reach outside of their home instance. Is this true? Should I move to a different mastodon instance? Thank you!

This is what I want to know. I don’t want to be in a walled garden.

There is no instance that is connected to every other instance, and there never will be. Lets say your instance is a free speech instance that doesn't defederate any other instance. Even then, there are instances that will actively block your instance because they block all instances that are willing to federate with bigots in the name of free speech.
