This reasoning breaks for Hexbear, since it blocks exactly four instances: Threads, Burggit, Exploding Heads, and LW. As such, if Hexbear is a "bigot instance", bigotry doesn't lead to being "pro-defed". As such, the other user was soapboxing against instances defederating others. (And if it is not a bigot instance, then it is not an example for that at all.)
[I'll probably not talk about this further ITT because I need to "chew" a bit on what you said, and I don't want to be an assumer. I'll still read anything that you might reply in this regard.]
You're right. That other person was probably talking about Blahaj and their reactionary political position of pretending anything can be apolitical. Also, doxxing trans people.
I consider Hexbear to be the same pattern in a different colour. Instead of defederating, they just ban any leftist or trans person who they've chosen to harass today. I consider defederations and bans to be two means of accomplishing the same goal, so I wasn't keeping the distinction in mind.
