   @dansup respectfully, I have to disagree.

   While yeah, some blocks are unreasonable, blocklists themselves, especially when paired with receipts for behavior far beyond what is acceptable (unaddressed hatred on the basis of innate characteristics such as gender and it's presentation, race, capability, etc), are an important tool both for moderating an instance, as well as individually for improving an individuals experience with the fediverse.

     Hear hear!

     To add to that, never forget to factor in CCL:
     1. Context
     2. Culture
     3. Language

     Often times, the reports we receive were taken out-of-context. Or, there's a cultural factor the reporter did not consider. Worse is, language. People forget that even though we speak the same language, English in this case, it does not mean we understand words similarly nor we form sentences and understand these sentences the same way.

     If we combine two or all of these (context, culture, language), it is when we start to understand each other. But failure to do so, we end up taking offense when it never was the intention of the other person (often the "reported").
