@nicemicro @taraen your own posts can still get boosted onto servers that you have personally blocked.

This can be abused so people can "make an example of you" for hateful arguments and ridicule. You might not know for months and then you see it. Your name, your profile pic, your message about being happy about yourself.

It's possible by other means but why streamline it.

These arguments are often "tell me you've never modded a server without telling me"

@davey_cakes @taraen anything you put out on the internet can be used to ridicule you. as you can't exactly control what other people think and say about you, the "escape the bullshit" part is only possible if you ignore the bullshit.

I guess, people who want less exposure to outsiders, will have to do to services that generally don't federate and don't show content to unregistered people.

@nicemicro @taraen in my experience, people accept that it's always possible, but appreciate when it's made less likely.

It's fairly achievable to be on servers where it's less likely on Fedi as it stands, without going on "allowlist" servers, although there are indeed some people going on allowlist servers, which are very selective about who they federate with.
