    If particular instances like blahaj.zone or beehaw wish to defederate them, that makes sense. But if they aren’t botting/spamming or doing things that are illegal, I don’t see a point in defederating.

      How about when they are pushing the right to exist for marginalized groups? Or promoting forced relocations of people, without due process?

            In what way? One’s person “deportation to protect a nation’s sovereign borders and rule of law” is another’s “forced relocation.” But at the same time, one’s ethnic cleansing could be to another “deportation”. To some people, a marginalised group is due to an inherent minority. Another person’s marginalised group would be economic class or a traditionally suppressed group such as women. (Even then to some people, they’d claim women being expected to work instead of spending time with their families is evil corporate capitalist slavery)

            You’d need specific examples.
