Even on public instances, I don't understand why people think defederating hurts the fediverse. Just join a different instance, how hard can it be?

I'm on 3 different instances right now

I don't get it either. Defederation is a tool just like banning or spam prevention. If it's unused it's pointless to have.

But you don't ban everyone for a single offense just like to don't defederate lightly. If you do then people will move elsewhere and the problem resolves itself
