That’s a cop out. Blocking requires engagement with the content, and some of us want a blanket ban so it doesn’t seep into our space.

I just want to post about fun stuff without having to wade waist deep in content that wants people to kill themselves.

No. The point is so that servers can do what they want without influence. If a server hates Nazis, then they don’t have to participate with them. That’s their right.

If a server wants free speech, they can do that, but it’ll always eat itself and that’s fun to watch as people piss and moan now that people don’t want to engage with them.

If you think this is about free speech, I think you should join a free speech server. I’ll laugh when you find out free speech servers are just hateful places without consequences, though!
