Can we please stop throwing around the threat of defederation?
Defederation shouldn't happen unless an instance is a cesspool full of terrible behavior with an admin unwilling to deal with it.
Annoyances like spam can be dealt with by admins without scorching the Earth and going nuclear.
Lets not turn the #Fediverse, where instances are supposed to be part of a larger collection, into islands of instances that have cut themselves off from others because of annoyances.

•The important part is that this fragmentation should be transparent, with each instance publishing the list of instances they are defederated from, which is the case at least for Mastodon and Friendica.
