I almost wish everyone hadn't defederated from hexbear so that we had more stories of the mental gymnastics justifying continues support of Putin after he banned being gay.
Defederating doesn't serve anyone's interest. If you don't like a community or a server, block them. Let the rest of us decide for ourselves.
Defederation is absolutely a valid tool to deal with spam instances. It's less of a valid tool for dealing with voices and opinions you don't like.
Unfortunately, sometimes it can be hard to differentiate between the two.
