I see the netsplit issue caused by server level blocking to be the biggest issue with lemmy/mastodon.

Choosing a server wouldn't be a huge issue if you knew for certain you could still access the posts/content on any other server. Currently what you can access depends entirely on the whims of your (and their) local BOFH.

This is a problem. I can understand having server standards for groups operating there, but banning connections to other servers seems over the top. I can block users that I don't want to listen to in a group as it is.

The choice should be individual, I don't want them making choices for me of who I should or should not interact with.
