I’d say don’t block anything at the top and let users filter their own feed as they see fit, except blocking communities is not very effective, in my experience.
More robust filtering and sorting for the user would be welcome. For instance, Reddit Enhancement Suite lets me hover over a name that has an “ignore” button for users, and a “filter” button for subs. That’s very user-friendly and effective there. The same here would be a good addition.
I understand that the structure of Fediverse makes this more challenging.
PieFed has been supported by most big apps in the last month or so. The website itself is also a pretty functional webapp, and my preferred method even moving away from Voyager on iOS for it.
If you’re wanting to try it out, registration is open on my instance Quokk.au, which is a small-mid sized instance, with a general leftist/anarchist vibe.
Currently .ml is federated as it was part of the default PieFed list and by the time I got around to updating it users had already started subscribing to .ml communities so I didn’t want to cut them off. I might put out a community vote in the future to see if we redefederate.
You can see which instances are blocked by your instance here (go to the Blocked Instances tab).
Looking at some on mine, I’m glad there’s a default block list. I’m not even going to visit them with names like that. I’m not going on a nonce watchlist.
There is no real top, though. If you really want to see hexbear, you can move off world to some other place they’re not blocked (most other servers than lemmy.world) . I was on .world from the api rexit and hexbear trolling was hitting world pretty damned hard when they banned them. I feel the general consensus back then was for the love of god yes, block them.
I’m on zip now and have honestly had more bad experiences locally with .world trolls than hexbear people. But based on how bad they were being, I can’t say they didn’t bring it on themselves back then.

I need to find an android app that supports piefed. I use it on my desktop and use Lemmy on my phone, and its very awkward.

Is Quokk still defederated from the triad similar to the OP? Might check it out.

No worries, ML has been just as bad in my experience but I’ll keep an eye out for the vote though for sure.
Boost, Summit, Blorp, Interstellar and Voyager work with PieFed.
