This getting rolled out without a block button says how much they prioritize trust and safety. This whole thing wreaks of lip service solely to bootstrap another social network. Personally, if my last business burned down, I wouldn’t give a seat on the board to the arsonist.

My expectations are some formula of transparency, responsiveness, action, and they’ve been good on the first two so far. For example explaining that block is dependent on federation, clearly and publicly, with a short timeline. If they’re wrong, ok, I’m happy start to not trusting them at any time.
