I’m a bit concerned about the block synchronization part. Mainly whether it can be used for some form of enforcement. My major concern is regarding shadow libraries, because I believe knowledge should be accessible to everyone.

Knowledge, perhaps but there are alredy places knowledge can be acquired publically like libraries etc.
No{one/many} are entitled to people’s personal spaces or thoughts especially if they are harrased a lot or the admins of an instance don’t do a good job protecting people from harrasment etc.
Folks have the right at any time to block others from seeing whatever they put out for any reason, instances the same, otherwise bad or insufficient moderation and harrasment happens just like on commercial social media (we bring that up because commercial social media cares even less a lot of the time).
Folks can and do release their knowledge publically (sometimes for payment) as well, so bookshops and perhaps video sites, more personal blogs etc might be a good place to find that stuff instead of trying to get into people’s personal spaces if they don’t want you or any{one/many} to.

We’re very nervous about anything that claims or wants to index the fediverse. Which is what we thought this was wanting to do at least in part, but reading through we aren’t sure if it does or not want to do that or will.
