Also also: If you claim to care about free speech you should also care about the basic principle of voluntary association, and thus people not wanting to hear or propagate your speech. *For any reason.* Defederation is a *basic requirement* for free speech to exist on Mastodon as anything other than a recapitulation of the worst corners of the internet.
It's fun to sometimes check out the federated universe. And that's it. Its value is low to me now, it's not easy to find English toots, even harder to find English toots worth reading. I'm getting 3 Japanese toots per second, some of them with anime child porn, luckily not that many as a few days ago. I guess I have to find other way of finding interesting people and toots. I don't say that's bad, I just can't any more use FOSS social networks the way I used to use them when they were small.
