to be frank, a lot of the instance blocks i’ve seen have to do with content that is legal in one place and not legal in another, so that’s not a clean line. I like how people who want to freeze their peaches can pick different instances from people who only feel safe enough to participate with heavier moderation, and it can be worked out pragmatically whether they should federate (since mods are busy, it’s pretty rare for anything to be blocked On Principle like happened with Gab–normally it’s in response to something).
that said, one thing that makes this all a lot easier now is that mastodon has a feature to forward follows if you move your account from one instance to
another. if lemmy can export and import lists of communities to follow, that will help.
