I don’t get it, if i see a troll, i just block them and move on with life. Beehaw users have the ability to block things themselves no?

Yes, but admins want to maintain a certain kind of atmosphere in their instance. It can't be completely up to the users.

Yeah unfortunately that by itself is not sustainable.

Like I get their point, but that is a whole lot of hand holding for people on the internet. The bouncer at the door analogy leans way too heavily on a group of folks I personally couldn't be around. And I'm not a toxic person, that's just not my crowd and I don't want to walk on thin ice hoping what I say doesn't trigger a ban or something idk

They either need a huge mod team with amazing tools, good AI, or to just stay unfederated.
