For those that have poked around other fediverse stuff beyond Lemmy, and been around the spaces awhile, what's stuck out to you as stumbling blocks, or basic user experience fumbles? Which parts do you think may be technical, and which may be cultural?

We can compose a list of instances with sane blocklists for each software and audit from time to time.

Yeah, but then the blocklists themselves become a centralized feature. I'm not saying "don't block the fascists", just that it's going to be hard to maintain a blocklist.

I can totally see the Fediverse going the way of email, as in you need a reasonably large amount of capital to maintain a well-respected, not defederated-from server.

By 'sane blocklists' I meant small and auditable blocklists actually. There are instances like programming.dev, lemmy on sdf and the instance I'm on that don't preemptively defederate from other instances. That's what I meant.

I mean that Lemmy and the Fediverse is not big enough for Russian troll farms and US ad agencies to start up massive numbers of instances and drown us in bullshit, like with email. If it goes that way, blocklists will sadly not be enough.
