These are tough calls to make. On the one hand I applaud the step taken to protect the community hosted by this instance, on the other I also find that simply cuting ties and conversation only furthers the divide.
Sure we should not have to defend the validity of our existence, and also realise that most hate leaves little place for heathy discussions. But in avoiding their echo chambers I find we quiet ours too, we renounce our visibility for our comfort and theirs.
I guess I wish there were other ways to warn users about potentially triggering instances rather than outright defederating, but I do understand your main motives.
Why are we minding transphobes exactly? They are inconsiderate and disrespectful most of the time, and they don't really want to listen to any arguments that dont confirm their bias.
I've moded mine, it was fairly easy and works amazing! Havent had any issues with image distortion. Most kits the screen is the same ration so shouldnt be an issue

Not saying I agree with it but just adding nuance even if you don't intend to explore the topic further.
