I find the Mastodon obsession with curation of both instance and hashtag timelines a symptom of a broken Mastodon culture: if *you* don't want to see certain content, then that content should be less available to *anyone*. Combine this with Mastodon's failure to offer any way to filter timelines based on the copious metadata available (every account is tagged as a bot, and every post is tagged with the specific bot posting to them all) and "that content shouldn't exist" becomes endemic.
