It’s hard because it’s the architectural flaw of ActivePub. But I’ll try:

Technical side.
1. There should be automatic notification of users when the major instance is blocked.
2. There should be a list of all blocked instances by your server for easy access.
3. You should be able to see accounts on blocked instances by demand through the relays.
4. Much easier method of moving to another instance with a nomad identity.
5. Self-hosting should be as simple as installing an app in AppStore.

Communication.
All major fediverse actors should understand the responsibility for the whole network, not just their instance. Every time when you block the entire (major) server, you damage the network. Hence such a decision shouldn’t be rushed and should be better conducted through some elaborate discussion not just between two instances but also with other major server owners. Defederation should be only the last resort.
