It does not prevent either of those things. It just makes it harder to eliminate universally since every instance is ran differently and may or may not have been set up properly with good tools that help stop those things.
It kinda works like ublock origin where a block list makes the block coverage MUCH faster. Its already happening in some parts of the fediverse. As long as its disclosed, its a very reliable tool.
The decentralized nature of it already prevents it being enshittified. If one instance turns to shit, others will be made to take its place.
oh great
On the other hand, the decentralized nature completely prevents the blocking of scrapers, spam, etc.
