This is why I believe federation should be an opt-in process rather than servers being federated by default.

Some of you may remember when Lemmy World was flooded with CSAM by other hostile instances and had to temporarily disable image uploads.

That would destroy the already limited content of the fedi. It's like people hate content discovery for some reason.

there are peoples who create instances for their families, who is going to manually federate with all these small instances?

Nominally, you'd need to go through some request process to request federation with other large instances. Then they'd vet your configuration before adding you.

Would be nice if they had some form of agreement where you can get accepted by one big instance, you get accepted by all. Or maybe even a standard order form and application which you can send to all major instances with the click of a button

I'm actually thinking of doing the same for myself.

Lemmy supports both blacklist and whitelist federation, but the only large instance that uses whitelist federation as far as I know currently is Hexbear.
