Well, not the worst, but not ideal.
Porn built the internet.
It made Reddit.
It unmade Tumblr.
And shoving it in the dirty corner where only the clued in people know how to get to it just isn't a good gameplan for reaching critical mass.
But, as noted elsewhere, the fediverse has some legal hurdles with the issue that corporations have thoughtfully removed for themselves, so even if it's the smart move for user growth it might be the dumb move for staying out of prison.
