Yep. I want to federate and block who I want to federate and block. Large instance admins need to make compromises for practical reasons, but I don't. My personal instance has no boards, so I don't have to deal with problematic users from other instances either. If an instance is particularly awful, I can just not visit them until I have time to switch to my admin account and defederate it, there's no urgency.

Plus, I thought it would be easier to get my friends to switch if they had an admin they could literally call if they ran into problems.
