If only it were possible to rely on other nodes in the network not being negligent or malicious. "We don't need filtering! We just need other servers to stop doing anything malicious!"

This is like that "Pleroma doesn't force email confirmation! Make the software make people verify their email addresses!" bug you filed when you were using Mastodon.

All this other software on the internet has been built with the expectation that you cannot control other nodes on the network and they might be buggy or actively malicious, and it was all built that way because you cannot control other nodes on the network and they might be buggy or actively malicious. You have to plan around that instead of just wishing that other people ran their nodes the way you want. This is the same approach that got that stupid spammy blockbot merged into your shitty excuse for a fork, and you said "Oh, it's all Pete's fault! He shouldn't do that!" instead of saying "A random person on the internet can abuse this, so someone on the internet will abuse it, so I should fix it to prevent that problem."
