This is one of the major weaknesses of the federated social network: "Filtering on the receiving side requires orders of magnitude more effort. If a single sending service delivers bad content to users on one hundred or one thousand receiving services, each moderator on the receiving end has to clean up the mess locally." If a server becomes a problem, it's just blocked. But what if it's the size of Meta's Threads? Bad actors are not compatible with the fediverse.
