I can even understand them choosing to do things based on their personal morality, ethics, and biases since users can always choose to use a different instance at any point in time.
Absolutely - this is the strength of federation, and why I think communities should be distributed across many instances, while users can gather at instances where the administrative policies are consistent with their values.
Eventually there will be a need to easily compare instances and their current defederation/blocking statuses so people can make informed choices.
They are already pretty clear in the rules that they won’t allow illegal content.
I don’t know about blocking, but defederation is covered under “/instances” on Lemmy servers.
