I’m your huckleberry…

The argument you make assumes cultural neutrality in terms of its ability to coexist with other cultures.

And, well, a few counters to that:

Colonization.
Evangelization.
Irredentism.
Racism.
Sexism.
Homophobia.
Transphobia.
Xenophobia.

The cultures that we reject are those that are actively hostile to the lives and cultures of others. To ignore the existence of these hostilities is to ignore reality.

You claim instance-blocking as xenophobia, yet deny existing forms of xenophobia within those other instances, and argue against the right of instances to defend against that xenophobia.

There’s a term that describes that sort of behavior, accusing others of hostile behavior by defending themselves from hostile behavior: DARVO. Deny, Attack, and Reverse Victim and Offender.
