1) A significantly less moderated federated timeline is not the only drawback to removing defederation. What's a far bigger deal is that defederation also affects who can respond to your posts. And if an admin is allowing (or encouraging) their people to harass others, it is reasonable to cut off that admin's server.
2) We should not rely on minorities having to block harm on their own. Requiring them to block all harm by themselves means relying on them being constantly exposed to harm. As a community we should be trying to reduce that as much as possible.
3) There are enough "extreme cases" that if defederation was not in place I would pack up my bags and leave ActivityPub forever.
Is defederation a great solution? Not always. Are there problems with overuse? Yes. Would the Fediverse be worse without it? 100%
