Burst out where? Into another instance that can get defederated? Into a million instances? Great. Spread that userbase as thin as possible. Defederate the most annoying ones.

The nasty stuff you are talking about is straight from Fox news. That's a failure of American broadcasting standards, that you have an "entertainment" channel holding itself up as legitimate news.

If Fox was disallowed from calling itself news years ago, you would not have these problems. If Fox was put into subscriber only TV channels, you would not have this problem.

Fox was opt-out for viewers. Make it opt-in. Make hateful instances opt -in for the users.
