In short i just jumped into the whole Mastodon blocking drama and am somewhat disappointed to see it as childish as reddit's power mod drama. Accelerated by the fact that a Limit/Mute option exist just fine, i wonder why Block/Defederation is an option at all. It only moves power from the user to admins without anything in return. With just Mute, as far as i can tell, one still wouldn't have to look on certain instances, but could interact/whitelist certain individuals and we'd get rid of the multi account requirement overnight. So why isn't it that way?

Readers: can somebody who sets up a no-block instance let us know when the nazis plan a bombing?

I kinda want a representative experience on here. If 3% of the world is discussing racist evil stuff, maybe I want to see that evil in 3/100 posts. A dark reminder. An opportunity to inform others of what’s going on in the peabrains.

I think that’s what I want. (Maybe I’ll register for an instance which hasn’t defederated from anywhere, see if I’m wrong.)
