I don't think so at all.
I am on sopuli.xyz mostly because it's run by finns, but also because they defederate and block pornographic instances and communities, which I do not want to see.
Given that there is transparency, then, this type of instance-level curation, means each user can choose on what instance they would like to create an account, and get a starting-point for the kind of content they would like to curate.
This decision makes programming.dev a perfect home for users that were going to block these communities anyway.
Yeah, you can just block everything you don't like, but if theres an instance with a policy that aligns with what you want, you can cut down on that work a lot by just setting up your user there.
Thanks for the explanation, I think I’m understanding better now. Part of my confusion is just me still not fully understanding the structure of these federating platforms. It makes a lot more sense now.
