All true, and making this a feature would simply be implementing the inverse of the new capability… overriding an instance level block instead of imposing one not already at the server level.
Comment on The Fediverse is working just as intended.

I think you only made a case for having two or more levels of instance block. One due to objectionable/illegal material that cannot be overridden, and another for something like threads where a significant number of users may not want to be opted in automatically, or want to block it due to purely ideological, non-illegal reasons.

I’m pro federate, but honestly, this seems fair.

Yep. And the ones that do know and want to post to our communities would probably have the right intentions anyway
