   @jerry This is surprising to me, because I don't see anything like this in our little Czech Fediverse bubble. I would also expect that the principle of decentralization will take care of this, that admins will protect their instances and block instances that are based on people full of hate. I'm curious to see where this goes.

     @michal There are certainly kind corners of Fedi. I've always been able to find them, but I've been here a long time, and I belong to the most privileged group.

     The main question is how we prevent a newcomer from walking through the unmoderated wastelands before they find their kind corner.

     What @jerry suggests here, or elsewhere in the tread, or what I infer from the comments across the thread, is a combination of social and technical measures, and they're not so different from what @mekkaokereke suggests:
     - The onboarding experience is key. People come in from JoinMastodon, and need to be presented with good information with which to make good choices.
     - Servers you can easily reach from JoinMastodon need to have at least a basic level of blocking of the vilest troll instances. Good defaults.
     - Server admins and/or members need to be able to subscribe to collaboratively managed blocklists. Good tool support for good social mechanisms.
