This is definitely a strength of federation.

Want to get rid of right wing communities and their fascist members? Defederate with the instances that host them.

Want to get rid of left wing communities and their commie members? Defederate with the instances that host them.

Want to get rid of hate communities and their toxic members? Defederate with the instances that host them.

You don't need to completely close communities, you can just let people have those discussions in their own space, as should be their right. Centralised systems don't really have this choice.
