"We tag trolls so you don't have to."

  I'm not sure if you're being facetious or not, so I'll explain further. Currently, if you want to be part of a social network, your options are to opt-in to Zuckerberg's moderation or Musk's moderation. It would be great if these were _actually_ opt-in (as in, you can be part of a social network without opting in to their moderation polices) and if you can use anyone's "moderation list." I think ultimately this would allow for freer expression than exists on current social networks.

    Ultimately is what you end up with is being held under some instance operator's even more capricious, arbitrary and biases moderation "policy." Although I think calling it a policy might be a bit generous.

      This is exactly why I love the promise of moderation lists (as opposed to "choosing an instance.")

    It's interesting that 10 years ago there was a media driven panic about "filter bubbles", and now we are at a point where the abilitiy to choose your own filter bubble is considered a feature.

      You missed the middle: the collective realization that socializing is not a public activity, it's bubbles all the way down. No one wants vitriolic arguments outside of debate club...
