Yes it was, that's what defederation is for. The potential for exclusion is literally built into the design philosophy of federated networks. Every instance has the freedom to not host Meta's crap. I don't know why people don't understand this.
You've also made the point that the information is still accessible, so it's not like we're taking down their instance. We're just turning it into a pariah to devalue it, and if enough instances do this, I guess that means the action is popular. If it wasn't, it wouldn't succeed. There's very little to debate here, it just sounds like you don't like people using their power to do something you disagree with. Sorry, that's up to those people. It's not for you to dictate what other people do with federation.
