  • Neat thing is, you can just join another instance, or even setup your own. Instance admins can and already do defederate entirely from other instances, you won’t ever be able to see that content without leaving the site. Hiding on the other hand means you can still see it if you subscribe to it, they just aren’t having it show up on the default feed. This should result in less severe action, like defederation, it’s a great improvement. Downside exists, but it comes with more upside. Join an instance that appears to align with your ideals and you will get the benefit of a feed that allows for content discovery. NSFW content discovery is probably better done on an NSFW centric instance anyway.

    If you are trying to compare this system to something like Reddit, lamenting the added effort of picking an instance and needing to move around sometimes, this is just one of those things people need to accept and start pushing for changes that make the process easier. The alternative is going back to big tech and eating whatever shit they decide to serve.
