While it’s shitty if they’re doing that, I think de-federating is more just for defense of the instance against literal crimes/malicious content. Things like instances hosting CSAM or spam bots. Otherwise it’s pretty easy for users to block instances nowadays (or even to just call for mass boycott)
I agree, and intend to block them on my account, but I am disconcerted with their readiness to censor based on personal bias and feel that their doing so is a critical matter that should not go unignored.
