No, I don't think the conversation should be about the impact of federating with an instance.
If we want to see it, great. If we don't, also great. But we should have the power to decide for ourselves instead of some biased admins.
The only people who disagree with this are those who want to control what other people get to see.
Users should have the power to defederate in addition to admins.
Not everyone wants the same thing or has the same idea of what constitutes 'harmful' instances.
Yes, this is why it's important to take individual control away from the user; to push an agenda.
How can I defederate from an instance? Last time this discussion was brought up, I didn't think it was possible and everyone else agreed.
