I get what you are saying but you have to understand where we are. Yes, hate can propagate online. Yes it's important to fight that.
I am a firm believer that isolating anyone in a bubble regardless of how good the intentions are is not a good thing.
You fight ignorance with knowledge. You fight hate with love.
If you're in a room with a Nazi leaving the room does not make them stop being a Nazi nor does it prevent them from continuing their beliefs.
That said, I completely understand the feeling of needing to defederate from instances like that.
