Let's try this again.
Server A users are not posting or boosting anything that is objectionable to Server B.
But Server A is federating with servers Server B does not like. [1]
*How does this affect Server B in any way?* Or, why would Server B cite this as a reason to defederate from Server A?
Is it merely a case of [association fallacy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Association_fallacy)? ("Server A federates with Bad Servers, therefore Server A must be a Bad Server.")
Or are there any legitimate problems Server A is causing for Server B?
[1] Usually because they find defederating to be too extreme for most situations, with too much collateral damage to innocent bystanders...so they use other means to block bad users.
