There should be a Fediverse platform that makes blocking entire topics as easy as blocking a tag, not subscribing/unsubscribing dozens of communities. Firefish (antennas) and PieFed let you follow/block keywords, but that’s not the same as robust, community-wide topic blocking. Imagine collaborative, booru-style tagging across posts so blocking a tag reliably removes all content using it. Does anyone know of software that already provides topic-level blocking out of the box without needing long manual lists?

    This would require a whole lot of discipline, namely the discipline of everyone always adding all appropriate tags to their content. In a Fediverse which most people use like Twitter/a Threadiverse which most people use like Reddit where there simply are no such tags.

    Even if there was a *booru clone in the Fediverse, you’d still have shit-tons of people who upload their stuff with literally zero tags whatsoever because they can’t be bothered. Just like on every last already existing booru.

    No-one is willing to build Fediverse software upon discipline as a requirement.
