mastodon federation allow-lists are actually kind of a pain in the ass to deal with and, imo, less user friendly than simply having prompt moderation

masto hot take 

@tastymochafox being on awoo, I’ve had so many exchanges that were “I moved to <new hot instance>, follow me there” “I can’t” “:/“

I like some of the results, but it’s super unfriendly too. I assume there’s some technical reason why users couldn’t follow outside the main list (ie, add their own mini-whitelists)?

re: masto hot take 

@leafnoodle yeah. that's honestly what made me quit awoo. that, and the moderators being super unfriendly in general whenever it comes to anything technical. :|

it has some great results, but it's not what i wanna deal with.
