Don’t think it would be that much extra work, and each instance can decide how and if they want to manage it

It’s just a tool each instance can use as they see fit. It gives more options to people

Up to each instance to decide

The keyword filters help somewhat, but can’t really be set as a default, and a lot of stuff gets through.
