   I mean if it's blocks you're after, there is definitely NOTHING BETTER than #fediverse

   We have server-to-server level blocks, user-to-server level blocks, server-to-user level blocks.

   We even have petty unnecessary inter-instance blocks based on a single drunken night's over-reaction.

   We have so much blocking we have actual soap-opera-style drama about the blockers, and the blocking, and the lying about reasons.

   The whole thing is beautiful and astounding and sometimes drives people into institutions for recovery.

   Elon isn't quite there yet, but we wish him well when he gets there and good luck to whoever takes over that mess.

   And when #twitter finally does #federate like #facebook had to, I expect most of us will probably block it.

     It makes sense though. Having a block-button on a troll website ruins the whole point of having the trolls there.

     A troll website with a block button is like a motorway with speed-bumps.

     If you want a block button maybe try forums that aren't just for trolls?

     #twitter #block
