   blocking a domain is just like blocking a user: you can't see them, they can't see you

   except it's for everyone on a domain

   and for anyone who does not know, you don't get this in your preferences tab, you go to your profile and:

     @staringatclouds @benroyce @deborahh You can check the information on the domain block confirmation screen in the web app or on Android.

     @deborahh @benroyce To the best of my knowledge if an instance administrator blocks another instance at the server level, then no one on that instance can see any posts from your instance & vice versa

     The instances are defederated from each other, this is how rogue instances are removed

     However if a user blocks an instance then all posts from that instance are muted for that user & the other instance can still see the users posts

     @staringatclouds @deborahh @Gargron

     interesting

     i assumed a domain block meant the domain could not see your posts either

     you're saying it works like a mute. i did not know that, thank you

     @benroyce @deborahh I'm pretty sure that's how it works

     It's been a while since I looked into it & there have been a few releases of the software since then so it may have changed

     You could ask your instance admin

     @Gargron Eugen, I've been trying to reach you. I know Mastodon is aiming for some sort of mainstream success. What steps are being taken to put Mastodon in that position? Are traditional DMs still a part of that plan? What is Mastodon doing to attain comparable mainstream appeal to Bluesky (where quite a few major news outlets are moving)? Any insight on this would be helpful.
