maybe it needs a little curation, but once you've blocked the instances, communities and users that are personally annoying to you, it's a fun and engaging place with the usual share of human noise. Maybe some people are happy to have reddit choosing what deserves to reach your eyes, I like to do it myself :)

Since when can we block entire instances?

They might be talking from a mobile perspective (or alternative UI) since a lot of them have that ability. Though, the next Lemmy update will have that feature natively thankfully!

There should be default curated lists so that new users don't have to know the platform before it can be enjoyed.

Curation is personal and subjective.

This is what the big Social Media don't get either.

What is horrendous to one user is a necessity to the other.

Right. That's why I wrote 'lists'.

Linux distributions come neither with no programs nor all programs by default.

Let people choose a distribution on sign-up. It's a bit like choosing an instance but it should be possible to create iconic defaults that make the choice easy.
