>All of that stuff is useful if not standard for a social media site
Standard in the likes of twatter ? I highly disagree.
There "useful" stuff doesn't mean that it's useful to others or even that is as real benefice to the person who "likes" using it.
>I don't know about you but I don't want loli on my timeline when I'm on public
NSFW is the only kind of warning that is reasonable, otherwise if you let the users have their own content warning it becomes a clusterfuck of bullshit to read in the timeline.
>What issue could you possibly have with blocklists,
I see that you do not have enough knowledge to even grasp the problem that these two represents.
First blocklists goes against the principals of what is a federation. But it is also a solution to corner cases like spamming thus in this case it's a reasonable way to use it.
But is this reasonable ?
https://github.com/WitchesTown/InstanceInternals/blob/master/Blocklist.md or this https://github.com/tootcafe/blocked-instances
Blocklists creates walled garden for people, it's that kind of tool that creates people who say
>how dare you talk/send me a message
on a publicly available space.
It was also reinforced by the fact that eugene still does not have a public timeline without any subscription.
Plus when people are gullible to someone else it creates this

This autistic (or paid shill) even added Raptor Engineering on it's list. For me all of this is a sign that the fediverse is being attacked by external entities and only pushed eugene bullshit forwards.
Not letting people having the choice to speak with each other is a mind killer, it is what creates, reinforces, and pushes separatist/tribal movements/way of thinking.

>private messaging.
Don't you see the problem in "private messaging" ? on a "Public network" ?
There's nothing private about them the admins of the servers will be able to see/use the content regardless of the word private but most users won't even know that it is not private
>And what do you even mean by 'datamining'?

>What super secret data is being sent to his lair?
>implying only "secret" data needs to be protected
Public doesn't mean it's legal for an entity to copy and use data that someone posted. If people knew the basics about copyright they would know that per default what they post is theirs (it's proprietary) and not someone else, excepts when the users agrees to the "terms of condition and use" to share "data" and "data" can be anything.
>Separatists are inevitable
I do not agree separatist can be a minority or not.
I don't give a dam when people want to make a "private" space but when it's public and the sole purpose of the federation is to let people choose to communicate with each other or not it's not up the admin to tell it's userbase to who and who can communicate with each other.
