You are not a country. The amount of interconnections between countries is a lot smaller than between people participating in the Fediverse. Sanctions are already ineffective for behavior-changing at the country level, at personal level it is not only completely ineffective but ends up creating more of the behavior you want to avoid by forcing the "sanctioned" to find support only in those that share the exact same values. It is a recipe for exclusion, polarization and extremism.
The Christian teaching of "hate the sin, love the sinner" is the best approach here. Showing support for what the lemmy devs are doing while showing how despicable are their beliefs and stating where are your differences will always work better than creating an insurmountable wall between you and them.
