How is this related to instance size? There are large instances which defederate (I think most do), and small instances which do not.

If anything, I'd see it as an argument for joining small ones. There, your voice can have a bigger impact on federation decisions.

Mostly I think if you care about federation status, be sure to join an instance with a federation policy which you like.
