This could be a really big issue though. People can make instances for really hateful and disgusting crap but even if everyone defederates from them it's still giving them a platform, a tiny tiny corner on the internet to talk about truly horrible topics.

    Those corners will exist no matter what service they use and there is nothing Mastodon can do to stop this. There's a reason there are public lists of instances to defederate. This content can only be prevented by domain providers and governments.
