Individuals could still block them, no?

    At least I don't want to spend much of my brain power deciding what individuals to block. I prefer there's a moderator who thinks roughly the same way about things things as I do. It's better not to be overzealous with the moderation: I am okay with a little bit of manual curating of my feed, but the things most obviously unacceptable to me should be banned by the instance.

    Also: If a lot of people see the messages of ICE, I am not really likely to ban them either, because I want to know what is going on in the world around me. But if I know they are being banned by a lot of people because whole largish instances are banning them, they no longer are goin on in my part of the world. At that point it becomes more of a choice to want to hear them.

    I guess that's where you and I differ. I see it as somewhat of a downside, letting a single or a few individuals dictate what everyone on the instance should or shouldn't see. I much prefer individuals having the choice to block what they don't wish to see.

    An instance can be federated over a single unity and then people wouldn't be able to access many other communities that were neutral/okay on that instance.
