Server indexes of places for newcomers to join can be instrumental for Fediverse adoption. However, sudden rule changes can leave some admins feeling pressure to change policies in order to remain listed.

It's a comparison. By definition they're not the same thing but there are similarities; you're doing something that affects 100% of the userbase because you have an issue with 2% of them.

You should think of a better comparison cause this one sucks.

Also no. You're doing something that affects 100% of users because the node these users use is malicious. The problem is the underlying structure not the people using said structure. Maybe this makes them stop using said structure.

Its like being upset that I dont answer unknown numbers. "Well only 10% are scammers so you're affecting 100% of calls"

This is like comparing requiring students in schools to wash their hands to genocide. The scale is the same but the impact is vastly different, and if you don't want to wash hands (or be defederated) you can just move. Except for changing activitypub instances is even easier than changing schools and both are easier than leaving Palestine.
