This is why p2p will always be superior to federation. I don't want others making decisions for me.

I'm okay with consuming an upstream block/filter list, but I ultimately want executive control over it.

The thing that still grinds my gears about Mastodon is the concept of search is inherently broken. In Twitter I can search whatever and see all the old public posts from the start of time. On Mastodon, I'll get ... some stuff.

With your model that wouldn't be an issue.

People who want such experience just run their own instance.

No because that doesn't solve the problem.
