when they are abusing the network, ie, using cloudflare inciting suicide, abusing ppl, and threatening ppl, by reporting them to the nsa (-i mean) cloudflare, when they go nuts for making a little joke that they call themselves a "bot" and they are on cloudflare, and when *THEY* fail the turing test in my opinion, then they become fair game. Ppl on a bad instance can find themselves increasingly isolated till they get board and pack up shop..... the important thing is to let the isolated person know that they are isolated due to a block on their instance tho. if they dont kno then theyll think its personal. im not for instances blocking but when they are really nasty you gotta consider it....
i actually advocate blocking cloudflare and other bigtech bad actors at the IP address/network level. and then putting a notice on the admin page that that is happening for their instance. i think it would be the most organic instance.
also block fbook meta, google and m$ instances of course.... yes they exist. only hours ago i stumbled across historians.social and outdoors.lgbt which are antitrust-hosted.
