This approach is incredibly open to abuse. Reddit implemented this to a lesser degree and abuse already started happening. By blocking everybody who disagrees with you, you can start threads that are only visible to lurkers and your supporters, creating a warped perception of public opinion and false consensus.

Or maybe there are already instances out there that don't defederate and leave it up to the individual?

Oh go start your own malignant instance.
That looks fantastic!
