If someone's email domain is @ihateminorities.com, I'd say that's pretty fair grounds for blocking it.

There are some instances that actively promote hateful or extremist content, and exist for the purpose of hosting it. There are others that do not actively support that content but do allow it, anywhere, making blocking one community not enough. Defederation is an important tool and should be used wisely.
