Random early morning #showerthought

I feel like the various servers in the #fediverse should be more explicit on which other servers they block and why. For example, joinmastodon.org boasts there are over 4M users but it seems like the top 3 servers block maybe 1/4 to 1/2 of that? Granted they're probably blocking what the average person would find to be the most objectionable content.

Just on mastodon.social alone you have to click to the ToS and scroll down to see what's blocked and even then it doesn't really give you the whole picture. It conveys more information than Twitter would ever give you. That's not exactly a high bar though.

Before anyone gets started, I think individual servers should be able to block whatever they want. I'm sure this has come up before too, but I don't see any reason not to continue the conversation. When that many people are silenced a little more transparency could be a good thing.
