As long as the pedo shit is blocked i dont see why u would want to defederate instead of letting each user block what they want. We need a user level federated blocklist.

If you want to see far-right content and spam, join a far-right server or run your own, rather than trying to shame server owners into doing what you want.

Admins are entitled to decide what they platform and what they don't. On top of that, the user experience of "just block 100 servers of Nazis and incels to get to the content you want to see" is complete dogshit.

This "it should all be user level" is just apologist bullshit.

Did anybody say admins aren't entitled to block stuff? User just wanted a system to see everything and block what they didn't want.

Fuck off with this aggressive bad-faith shit.

His "defederation bad (except pedos)" isn't exactly wet with support for blocking instances for spam and extremism.

User just wanted a system to see everything and block what they didn't want.

That system exists. It's the "run your own server" that I explicitly mentioned. But let's be honest, he doesn't want that system (which again, he already has) for himself, he wants it for everyone else.

It's the same bullshit that "free speech absolutists" push in every single thread about defederation -- admins should be hands off and users should dig through through slurs, racism, homophobia looking for content worth engaging with.

It benefits exactly one group of people but apparently doesn't set off your "bad-faith" radar.
