Immorality is the only reason I'd advocate for defederating. There are plenty of things I find distasteful that aren't inherently immoral, and in those cases I think it's up to the individual to curate their own content. However, with this content I think its production and distribution is morally wrong, close to if not inherently, and thus I think taking steps to staunch its redistribution is good.
Even looking from immoral perspective it's a slippery slope. Something one person might find immoral is just distasteful for another. Immorality is just a norm that different people will interpret differently. If we defederate from this, should we then also defederate from every other instance that someone else finds immoral?
