The instances, according to his rambling post, were blocked because of admin stances on violence. I'm sure you've seen violent posts on Lemmy calling for people to be Luigid or whatever.
Similar to my stance on individuals, I think that stuff crosses a line and needs to be removed from the fediverse, but again it's not the place of a front-end developer to enforce that, especially not by muting the entire instance.
I think if he's right about instance admins, there's an argument to use the existing mechanism (defederation) which won't make me very popular, but hopefully clarifies where I stand.
