Did anybody say admins aren't entitled to block stuff

His "defederation bad (except pedos)" isn't exactly wet with support for blocking instances for spam and extremism.

User just wanted a system to see everything and block what they didn't want.

That system exists. It's the "run your own server" that I explicitly mentioned. But let's be honest, he doesn't want that system (which again, he already has) for himself, he wants it for everyone else.

It's the same bullshit that "free speech absolutists" push in every single thread about defederation -- admins should be hands off and users should dig through through slurs, racism, homophobia looking for content worth engaging with.

It benefits exactly one group of people but apparently doesn't set off your "bad-faith" radar.
