Like it or not, the average person still sees Lemmy as a mostly homogenous platform. If they see “lemmy is full of tankies”, it’s not a good look. They don’t know how defederation works.
Gab and Truth.social are forks of Mastodon, but I don’t see “Mastodon is full of alt-right garbage people” as an argument against using it anywhere. probably because they’re unconnected from everyone else.
if only there was a way for admins of an instance to block federation with certain instances, we could call it “unconnecting”
