@Kezkch @TheGreatLlama ah...well🤷♂️
I've never seen anyone call Mastodon instances the "Mastodon Network" unless they were shitposting and meming.
Personally, I've kept my blocklist private, so I've never had anyone question who I federate with and frankly, it's none of anyone else's business.
I guess the only paragraph I really resonate with is the last one.
