It is a question of giving and getting mutual support - and also getting more people used to the idea of using Free Software tools and possibly contributing to them instead of making more proprietary stuff.
The FSF has recently been pushing the concept of the 'Freedom Ladder' as a series of steps to help people move from the non-free world to the free one, or as far in that direction as they feel comfortable. I see a federated movement as part of the 'on-ramp' to the Freedom Ladder, and that one doesn't encourage folks to keep climbing it if unwilling to accept folks at whatever level they feel OK about it...
(I see the Libreplanet list and similar as being at the upper rungs of the ladder BTW...)
