Who said anything about twitter and worse?? Shouldn't this be better than Twitter?
> What about instances that are mostly spam? What about instances that are dedicated to harassment (eg. Kiwifarms)?
Why is that an issue? You do not get spewed their spam in your face as long as you do not follow anybody?
It has to be the users decision, anything else is doomed to be abused against users.
And if this would become an issue, and one want's to have a more drastic approach to handle bad apples a decision of the a federates instances users, i.e., a conses or quorum, needs to decide.
> you're free to use an instance with a block policy that aligns with your opinion
No, you do not understand the basic issue here. Not only the block policy of the instance I'm on is the issue, but all the others. So how does your proposal solves this?
- progval 7y ago> Who said anything about twitter and worse?? Shouldn't this be better than Twitter? I personally believe the Fediverse is better than Twitter in that regard, but everyone should agree that it's at least not worse. > a conses or quorum, needs to decide. Some instances do that, eg. https://social.coop/ https://social.coop/ > So how does your proposal solves this? I didn't make a proposal, just explained what I see as an early Mastodon user. > Not only the block policy of the instance I'm on is the issue, but all the others. Again, Fediverse users choosing instances is like Twitter users choosing blocklists. If they are on an instance which blocks yours, then either: 1. they are aware of their instance's policy, so they indirectly agree with the decision of not seeing your toots 2. they are unaware of their instance's policy, which is a bad decision on their part.
