     @RememberUsAlways @matt all servers federate by default unless they set the "limited federation mode" which works as a whitelist for federating.

     Defederation is a security feature as well as a personal decision. "Block" is a similar feature and function for each individual Mastodon account. Is this redundant? I've not set up an instance yet. Do all servers federate by default? Should block / mute be temporary by default with greater time period options?

     Thank you!

     @BeAware
     Ahh. Cheers M8.
     I understand the difference between federation and block. I just wonder if more options in the time duration should be considered as well as a "unity" or "addition" focus on the overall social Fediverse rather than "subtraction". It's possible for everyone to block everyone, thus making the concept of social media pointless IMHO.

     @RememberUsAlways @matt I feel the same way. There definitely should be more ways to hide certain content completely so that we don't have to block PEOPLE, just content. That'd be great.

     @BeAware

     Content filters are important. Perhaps block and mute should only be temporary with aggressive content controls?

     I like the this concept.
