If I were to create a public real-life community, would I be happy to invite people who are known for being toxic, associate with political extremism, or simply would not fit with the present state of the community? Would I invite a giant corporation with billions of dollars that could potentially have devastating effects on my community? I don't think I would.

The question is whether the fediverse is a community, or infrastructure. You wouldn’t argue that toxic people should be prevented from using the roads or the power grid.
