That makes even less sense...
Like, if that's really what it does, then it's exactly what defederation is....
So...
You want every user of the fediverse to manually opt out of the far right hate instances?
Alright, fine.
Make your own instance with that. And if that's what people want, then they'll join your instance.
Problem solved. Super easy.
Sorry, the more you clarify the worse it gets.
You want instances to use up their server space for shit the vast majority will never even see?
And admins would have to have it unblocked, otherwise they're hosting a bunch of shit from problematic instances without knowing what it is. Which, worst case scenario, could have legal ramifications.
No need to keep clarifying, I was convinced already this is a terrible idea.
Ah, so you want a 'hard' defederation, that works just like it does now, and a 'soft' defederation, that users could opt to disable? Interesting.
However, as others said already, that would mean that servers now also have to federate with other servers that most users and the mods probably dont see, creating difficult moderation challenges...
