Yeah, that sounds like a perfect match for what I experienced. Thanks. We've got two feeds - a legal one and an OStatus one with fixes for a lot of quirks and bad behaviour by GS and mastodon. Some older GS sites are stuck with the legal feed and they can't deal with it so a lot of content ends up being buggered on their side. We can't fix it because we can't get them to use the feed which was butchered especially for their consumption. -

Instance blocks have been available on several other projects for at least a few years now; we just have never used them because as a filtering technology it is irreparably flawed. You need go no further than hubzilla to find out how badly it is flawed. There your identity is nomadic and is not tied to any particular site.
Incidentally, several projects implemented site blocks in response to an influx of the free web by Islamic State a few years ago and started sharing videos of people getting their heads chopped off. But IS members didn't setup their own sites where a site block might have had marginal effect. They just signed up at popular instances where site blocks would never work. -

There's an 'Articles' feature in hubzilla which is mostly finished but disabled in the code. The only thing it's waiting on is providing summaries, after which point it will be released. An unnamed project really fucked up the ability to federate multi-media articles by usurping the summary mechanism (of not one, but two protocols) for use as content warnings and then filtering out multi-media embedded content. So these articles won't federate; but they will be interactive and easily share-able.
