The instance seems to be mostly right wing trolls. I know defederating is unpopular but I don’t think much is to be lost in this case and it can save the mods some headaches.

I’d like to decide for myself what I want to see and what not, as an adult.

Well if the instance defederates then you, as an adult, are free to move instances.

I settled down here, exactly because it only has one blocked instance. The vibes I got when I created my account were “chill place that lets adults curate content themselves”. We’re free-signup and create our own communities, I doubt the admins here will just go ahead and defederate other instances left and right. I wonder, though, why aren’t you on Beehaw? They seem closer to what you’re looking for.

Or you can not be an authoritarian fascist and let your users decide for when selves what they want to see. Defederating is a bitch move.

I agree. I don’t like this whole principle of dictating what members are or are not allowed to see. Defederating should be a last resort. Everyone has a block button.
