> Mastodon is not friendly at all
This is akin to saying "e-mail is not friendly at all" because you get a lot of spam and scams. It's in the nature of permissionless communication and the answer is the same as for e-mail (filtering and moderation, by user and/or server). If you want to be conservative you can use an allowlist (rather than blocklist) approach.
That has nothing to do with the "friendliness" of the Mastodon project.
Mastodon is not one place. It is many places, many of which interconnect.

Also, email does not have a federated timeline where everyone is connected and you can see each others posts. This is not a Mastodon issue but a fediverse issue.
