Fediverse is a portmanteau of "federation" and "universe".

Default instance blocks should largely replace defederation

Since what content users might want to see is quite unlikely to match which servers the admins tolerate, choosing instance on the Fediverse can be quite complicated, which is inconvenient and off-putting for new users.

For this reason, and simply that the Fediverse is stronger united, I believe defederation should ideally be reserved for illegal content and extreme cases. If Fediverse platforms would allow instances to simply block the rest for users by default, the user experience would be the same, unless they decide otherwise.

What ethics? Anyone is free to open an account elsewhere.

And its not about locking anyone in, but why should I as an instance host pay for the drinks of someone that takes them to another party with horrible people that constantly try to crash parties over at my place?

I don't mind doing that with nice people's parties as I want to go over to their parties sometimes as well.

But if they really want to hang out with these horrible party crashers, they can move over there or make their own party and invite them.
