   So while one key piece of the #Fediverse is that entire instances can be blocked as a form of moderation, and keeping things safe for people. I think it should be clearly stated to newcomers to any instance if entire platforms such as #Meta / #Tumblr / #Medium / #WordPress.com / #Bluesky (through a bridge) are being blocked.

   If someone wants to have a federated identity and follow family/friends on Meta then they are SOL if an instance completely blocks the entire platform. #fediblock

     @tim I agree with you, and most instances do that to some extent anyway I think - the Moderated Servers list here, for example: https://mstdn.social/about - but I would definitely like to see announcements being made if my instance host decided that a whole swathe of the federation was about to be cut off for what's really just personal reasons to give people like me time to find another instance more suitable to my needs.

     @neonbubble yes, this is exactly why I have concerns when I see people talking about wanting the entire #Fediverse to block an entire platform. What's more is that I think many people have a false understanding of what the Fediverse is, how it fundamentally works, and what they should expect for privacy.
