What do you think some of the fediverse's primary stumbling blocks are? (lemm.ee)

For those that have poked around other fediverse stuff beyond Lemmy, and been around the spaces awhile, what's stuck out to you as stumbling blocks, or basic user experience fumbles? Which parts do you think may be technical, and which may be cultural?

By 'sane blocklists' I meant small and auditable blocklists actually. There are instances like programming.dev, lemmy on sdf and the instance I'm on that don't preemptively defederate from other instances. That's what I meant.

I mean that Lemmy and the Fediverse is not big enough for Russian troll farms and US ad agencies to start up massive numbers of instances and drown us in bullshit, like with email. If it goes that way, blocklists will sadly not be enough.

I'm not sure how this hypothetical issue that may happen in a far future relates to what issue I addressed in my comment, actually.
