If I removed ActivityPub from my blog, I’d get no readership whatsoever. It’s not like search works anymore.

3·2 months agoFilters already mute keywords and can be set for specific periods of time. AFAIK*, subscribed blocklists were rejected because they could be used to target minority members by bad actors. How are custom feeds different from lists?

Except all those times where you learnt how to do something when you set it up years ago, and haven’t touched it since because it just bloody works. Then when you need to upgrade to a new machine you have to learn it all again.
