I mean, if I wanted a walled garden I’d just go back to Reddit. Federation is part of lemmy’s beauty, but if the imposition of a particular mindset through defederation becomes the norm, why would anyone respond with anything but defederation?
This is my take. I choose the instance that fits best for me, and I know what my admin, u/db0, uses as his litmus test for defederation. As long as you find the instance that is handled how you want, you can avoid whatever side of Lemmy you choose. That’s not to say badmins don’t exist or won’t replace the good ones eventually, but that’s the nature of decentralization. You have to be prepared to move in those cases. That’s why I bounced from .world real quick.

In short: why tolerate intolerance?
