@jerry word-based filtering has many many issues. As server blocklists do. Before having tools that reinforce this, we want those tools to not be invisible to users and provide some auditing. Not doing so, in our experience, creates very bad experiences for users.
Add the fact that being a federated network makes most of the things much more difficult to implement properly.

@jerry and this is also why we introduced the severed relationship mechanism, as well as the (still needikg improvements) filtered notification system. Now that we have those, which allow more auditing and decision visibility, we will need to able to add more tools, like blocklist syncing.

@renchap mind, pleroma implemented things like MRF years ago (there's a helpful thread from ariadne conill that lists the pleroma moderation/security features); mastodon frequently ignored calls for implementation of such features or delayed them for years, and rochko managed to alienate many potential contributors by doing things like dropping already reviewed pull requests with implemented features because something irritated him.
