  Just because there are bad places on the street it doesn’t mean people shouldn’t be allowed to go there.

    Is anyone keeping you from opening the bad instance in your browser? No.

    If you want to go there, make an account there.

    If every single person who walks on to that street gets instantly beaten, stabbed, or have pedophilia shoved in their face, I would absolutely want someone to stop me from walking down that part of the street.

    There is a reason that thousands of instances all block these instances of their own accord, and it’s not because that instance provides any value whatsoever to any who decides to open it. It’s almost like it’s, you know, dangerous to be connected with that kind of content?

    I dunno, if there’s a street that says “walk down this street to get stabbed” I’d take a wild guess that that street should probably have a safeguard preventing people from walking down it, It’s just common sense.
