You can block abusive servers from federating with you.
Ideally we could also encrypt all our posts and whatnot so the server operators can't snoop as easily.
Because you don't have to join coolsocial.fake to view my social media posts, it's a lot less likely folks will concentrate on one platform and it will make ditching that platform a whole lot easier.
Making it easy for people to leave also forces server operators to avoid doing/not doing things that would cause people to leave.
