It would defeat the purpose of federation if there's a different server for each political persuasion. Why bother with federation if you don't want to see anything you disagree with? Each server would be its own hugbox.

There is a big difference between "I would prefer not to be routinely confronted with literal threats to kill me" and "I demand my own hugbox."
The problem with that is there is no practical difference between the two points of view. Both lead to balkanization and isolation.
What do you think the purpose of federation is? I like federation because I can choose a server I like or run my own and still talk to people on other servers.
