@mattly contagious improvement sounds awesome, maybe a little over-optimistic, but who knows? =)
I'm running gotosocial for @technomancy@hey.hagelb.org and it's definitely rougher around the edges but the blocking functionality (from a user perspective) is roughly on par with mastodon; I don't know what mastodon is like from an admin perspective
but the gotosocial devs have identified this as a serious weakness and a priority to improve for future versions
