This is not a problem with Mastodon/Pleroma/Misskey et al. Federation allows interoperability, you SHOULD have access to the whole network. The problem is server owners/admins who fuck this up. Nobody has a problem with only putting the servers your community works well with on your "neighborhood / universe" feed - it helps with discovery , same with keeping certain shit out of your public areas (ie you're a general server, you don't want giant onlyfans and camwhore ads everywhere ), but you should not stop your users from the general server from individually following the camwhore of their choice, or of browsing switter (a real thing at one point anyway not sure if not - basically when Twitter kicked the onlyfans and actual escort/sex workers, FOSTA/SESTA killed backpage and craigslist, they moved and made their own instance) and seeing all the escorts they want.
