I dont like tankies or tories any more than the next person, but breaking federation is just wrong.

I dont want to have to make a separate account just to get around that, mainly because this is actually already my account for getting around that!

Its quite easy to block a community at user level, if needed, and we are not the target of any spam, but now we users have lost the option of the ability to interact forever with a corner of the threadiverse, which i think is not cool.

If its just me thinking this way, fine, i'll just maintain several accounts, but i would hope its not, because its feeling like instances are gettinh pretty triggerhappy with the block button https://github.com/maltfield/awesome-lemmy-instances/tree/main

I don't think it's too much for people to have a separate account for porn and such if they want to see that

Indeed - a blanket "no defederation" policy wouldn't work because, I assume (I'm definitely not looking), there's already some pretty nasty places out there that you can't or don't want to be linked to. However, it'd take a special kind of maniac to be subscribed to extreme material with their main account and most people would want a second account for that kind of thing anyway.
