am i the only one who thinks this isn’t a good way to prevent harassment & improve user experience?

i already sort of dislike the idea that instances can block entire other instances in the first place

USERS blocking instances would be sensible and necessary, of course, but allowing instance admins to choose which parts of the fediverse other users are allowed to observe seems too restrictive regardless of how unsavory those other instances are

and this new suggestion to restrict the initial visibility of the instances that aren’t block-happy (not even just the unsavory instances themselves) is an additional step that i hadn’t realized could even be made in the first place

why are so many people so averse to making their own decisions regarding the content they get to see?
