This whole fediverse trend of responding to ideas about improving with moderation with "well just make a personal block list, there you go"
really need to die.
Personal filters and block lists are not "moderation" they aren't an affirmation of shared community values, they can't replace moderation to effectively stem the flow of hate content.
They don't meet the need.
If you don't have this need that is fine. There are places you can go. But lots of people do. jeeeeez
@futurebird It is easy to block or just ignore posts you don't like or agree with. It's called adulting. I can imagine how much work administrators already have on their plate without adding what would probably be a monumental task. Just enjoy the good people that are here.
There is no policy decision or feature rollout where #Mastodon doesn't put big instance admins over everything else.
Literally, from #QTs to #MastodonSearch to broken threads to moderation to VC decisions.
Tune out nonsense rationalisations, and you'll see the raw power game.
