At least it's easier.

I think Mastodon kinda has the same setup too, but they had all the issues with server-level cascading blocklists and stuff that put me off.

I don't want to be blocked from seeing the posts of someone I'm interested in on another server just because the admin of my server refuses to block another server which refuses to block posts from servers where some users have posted "offensive" content, etc. - like it's so many levels of separation it's ridiculous.

yeah the blocklists were a mistake, instead of the interconnected new internet we just got even worse social bubbles and isolation, the only difference from current social networks is that it's not algorithms doing it, but admins.
