    In my view, the main point of the fediverse is that every instance can set its own rules, and decide on its own who to federate with (based on preferences of the local community).

    Exactly. And this nothing, nothing at all different to how we do exactly the same in real life all of the time. Both at group levels and individually. the only difference is that online from a technical perspective you’ll have explicit block/allowlists that are the abstractions to how we don’t want to be exposed to certain things in certain contexts IRL.
