I mean isn't it being a full on buffet for the users to block content they see fit a certain level of curation? Some give you finely tuned instances (beehaw), some give you a moderate amount of curation, and some give you, the user all the power and control. Why can't there be a general instance that does that?
The admin already said that they don't want to defederate, why not find an instance that has defaults that match and respect what you believe are same defaults?
I agree that curation can be great, but not every instance has to be tempered to your tastes. Personally that content is a hard block for me, but I don't want my choice taken away. Look at what happened with beehaw, while justified, many users didn't get the choice or power to decide.
I made this post at the direction of the admin, who was neutral on the issue and wanted to get feedback from the community, so this isn't my personal agenda post but rather opening a community discussion.
That's completely fair, I just commented late and missed the timely context. Sorry about that!
It's all good. Issues like this bring about really strong opinions, but one of the things that I appreciate about Lemmy over Reddit is I think we're a bit better about resolving conflict.
