The other problem with Mastodon / the Fediverse is how fractured it is. Here[0][1] are some examples of the sort of blocks that instance admins implement, including reasons such as "Allows controversial content" and "A lot of trolls, very [My Little Pony] themed".

I suppose it is to their credit that these instances are so transparent about their blocking policies, but I think the world would be a worse place if email or even Twitter made it impossible for people with different politics to message each other.
