it's anti-competitive, which goes against the "no one group is in charge" spirit of the fediverse. Beehaw is a large instance with a lot of sway.

It's not "anti-competitive", it's what freedom of speech looks like: you are free to be a shithead, you are not free to force others to listen to you.

Keep in mind that "defederating" is the opposite to a "site-wide ban" on places like Reddit, the shitheads can still behave any way their admins will let them on their own instance.

There is no "sway" when everyone can start their own instance.
