Mastodon's Mastodon'ts.
There are a few fundamentally broken things about how Mastodon posts work that are terrible vectors for abuse, as well as being bad for basic usability. Maybe they are fixable, I don't know. To be clear: I am a fan of Mastodon....

This is exactly how twitter always worked. To see everyone's posts you just needed to log out our use incognito.
And facebook to a lesser extent-- facebook works more the way you describe, since it's all about private groups and smaller and smaller circles where people become uglier and uglier.
Never thought that being able to hide posts was a good thing. Stop them from spreading? Yes. But keep what was said public--
I find it more disturbing that people can make their posts vanish.
