But that also makes it incredibly easy for communities on defederated servers to set up shop elsewhere.
And those communities may be the sole reason that the server was defederated in the first place.
I think a possible outcome is that the larger instances would have to put a stop to open creation of new communities, to prevent toxic groups from setting up shop and moving all their objectionable content and users into the space.
Meh. I think if users focused more on blocking what they don't want to see instead of defederating, then this wouldn't be an issue.
This is only a problem if you're one of the children who thinks: "I don't want to see something, so neither should anyone else."
Yeah exactly, defederation should be limited to instances with incompetent or malicious admins, not with crap communities.
The feature to allow a user to block a server not just a community should help with that.
