Apparently this is a divisive topic, moreso than expected. Edited for clarity.

Huh? Green means it has been blocked and needs no further action. Red means it needs attention [if you're on the side of defederating that is].

The point is that it's portraying not blocking as an inherently negative thing, which isn't universally agreed upon at all. Plenty of people would say that they don't need any attention at all. It's not presenting objective in a neutral way, but rather labeling a group as bad.

Of course, it's probably fair to assume that the author has no intention of being neutral, but it's still valid grounds to criticize it as a data visualization.

I don't think I'd expect political neutrality from the admin of a website literally called "veganism" anyway.

You shouldn't expect it from ANY site really.
