clashing with their users' need to stay isolated from users who are toxic to them.

Sadly Lemmy does not solve this problem as the creators think like a corporation or do not want to be fully cut off from other users and thus do not have proper blocking (which is something built into ActivityPub mind you), for now it is only one way blocking which does not solve being isolated from toxic users as it still allows for some toxic behaviour etc.

If Lemmy ever gets that feature it would actually prove that it is dedicated to user safety, but a lot of people in the open source social media world seem to be 'concerned' with not being able to see everything due to entitlement, as others unrelated to Lemmy also are lacking the same or similar features.
