I'm all for every admin deciding what's best to de-federate from their server, but I really dislike that people are trying to influence other servers through shaming them for not de federating from the same servers as them.
That's the whole point of the fediverse so that I can decide myself who I want to engage with and who not, if every server has de federated from the same list of other servers what's the point of the fediverse?
Differences in instance-level topical focus and moderation philosophy, for one. Also physical location and "vibe".
There are a certain set of bigoted and/or extremist instances that I would judge an instance for not defederating from. There's a reason I've stuck with .world even through some turbulence. Some heinous shit shouldn't be tolerated by anyone.
