It's pretty odd to use a term about the blind focus on capital to describe a process (defederation) that's only really feasible because there's no capital.
A for-profit company must appease their users so they can grow. Lemmy has no such need. It does not need to grow. It simply needs to sustain, and instance owners don't have investment in its future growth. As a result they can afford to say "I don't like this user, begone" and "I don't like this entire instance's thing, go away."
