Instances that defederate are at a disadvantage though, because it hurts their users. There is a natural incentive to stay federated. Defederation is really a nuclear-scale moderation tool, and it's one of the founding principles of the fediverse: independant administration. If you don't like some administrators, vote them out by joining an instance that better matches your needs instead.
In any case, the admins of these instances are collaborating and have stated that this is a temporary measure untill better mod tools become available. I'm not worried at all.
But no doubt by, some communities are going to be just so at odds, that it's probably best if there are mechanisms to keep them separated. And you know what? That's just fine.
