Think about it; instead of those in charge or the instances deciding who they don’t want to be federated with and thus restricting content for the users, it would be better if users were able to block entire instances instead....
How about a compromise? Each instance can define a blocklist of other instances they don’t want, which is copied to the user’s blocklist when they register to the instance. Then you give an option to the user to edit the blocklist.
This way you have the curated experience, but users have freedom to change it for themselves if they want to.
