I've been exploring the fediverse intermittently since last year. As a reflection of my journey so far, I wanted to put down some thoughts:

@chnynf discovery IS terrible for users that don't discuss specific topics and tag them. However, the hope with Threads federating is that there will be more users talking about other types of topics, making it easier to find those with similar interests.
Unfortunately, instances blocking other instances could definitely be an issue, especially when it could literally be 1 admin on each instance having a personal beef.
This is why I created my own instance and obviously this isn't easy for everyone, BUT there are options like toot.io and masto.host managed hosting which makes it a TON easier. But then you're "paying for social media" which isn't everyone's cup of tea.
All-in-all. It's not perfect and still being worked on, but it's better, in my opinion, than dealing with the fascism on Xhitter or letting any one specific entity control what I can and cannot see.🤷♂️
Overall, you make very valid points that I hope to see fixed down the line and I plan to stay here for awhile to hopefully see that happen.
