@silverpill @sendpaws The issue isn't really knowing about a restriction. Although it would be welcome. It's the act of restricting itself. I joined fedi and host my own instance specifically so I could be my own moderator/post filter and nobody would have a say in what I do. And this breaks that fundamental idea that shaped fedi in the earlier days in my opinion.

Restricting things encourages splitting the network further, which will at some point be the death of it. In my opinion, we should have stopped at the followers-only scope which already breaks things enough and is disliked by some of the Pleroma devs for how it (mis)behaves. Expecting any kind of privacy in a network based on trust is in my opinion wishful thinking anyway. Unless you do full E2EE which is another can of worms.
