It's the number of instances that have blocked them.
Accounts can't defederate afaik. There's a way to block instances on some apps, but it's client-side and really just hides posts from that instance.

they're pedophile nazis who do harassment campaigns against minorities basically
I don't know the whole deal with them, but off the top of my head I know it's a very far-right social media site that was fairly mainstream for a while. It got a lot of media coverage after getting hacked, so I guess a lot of people ended up blocking it once they heard of it.
I don't know the full story. They were probably just a bunch of trolls like a lot of the other instances.
