My 2cts: It would be ok to soft-block huge servers: making them opt-in only, on user-by-user basis. Ie you could follow from/to twitter on some other AP server, but no notification on (unrequested) mention, shared #tag searching, etc. Imho you never should to talk to "the world" (especially with microblogging, it's door open to drama, troll and everything abuse). Not sure if this exists in AP servers, heard the moderation is missing some stuff. Anyway I never used any microblogging.
