BlueSky also has this, but it works poorly because people use blocklists as a form of harassment, or else take over existing lists and add their enemies to it.

And bluesky has the ultimate power of choosing which blocklists to show you
Eh, not really. It really is decentralized, you can find them on Google. They could stop respecting a certain list but I think you can host your own AppView and get it back?
No one is successfully hosting their own AppView at this point. Blacksky had one but had to roll it back. Northsky has it as their priority, but they don't have one yet.
I mean when lists are opt-in and users have to specifically choose what lists to subscribe to then well… kinda tough shit if you end up on one that many people are happy with. That's the point of putting moderation in the hands of users, they're allowed to block you for any number of weird reasons.
It sucks when server operators group together because it effectively becomes a centralized moderation team that makes decisions for users with tenuous implicit consent but user moderation lists aren't that.
Not really, because there's only one AppView and you can't unsubscribe from the lists they dislike.
Wheras with Matrix, you can run your own server, with your own rules, and federate with the rest of the network.
