lemmy.today also doesn’t block any content or instances. Which is why I chose it.

Yeah I dont believe instance admins should choose those things for their users. There are options for users to block other instances themselves if they want to.

I think for giant instances, perhaps it makes sense, because moderation could become a full time job otherwise, specially if they want to have strict rules what people can say.

But yeah, im old school and I believe in letting users make that choice themselves.

By allowing users to choose their instance we are giving them that choice though. I chose piefed.social in part because I agree with the moderation policy, and I don’t want to waste my time doing it myself. I want to have reasonable admins who filter away stuff I don’t want to see before it ever gets to me. That is a choice I have as a user, just like the choice you have to do this job yourself.
