I'm all for letting servers choose what they want to ban and allow. Its easy enough to just create a new account on a different server if you do not agree with the server admins decisions.

That's the beauty of federation. The user can also setup his own instance to access the content if he wishes. He might have to learn how to do it, but its totally doable.

Didnt lemmy.world defederate to not get into any legal trouble?

No one has been able to correctly enumerate what "legal trouble" there was. It was proactive with nothing leveraged against them.

I just created a lemmy.ca account because LW down time guess I use this account as my main and the other one is to collecting dust

I'll admit I took the bait, but I am more embarrassed for the instance that they got to actually defederate.
