@PhenomX6 The ability to block an entire instance just because 1 user who's following 1 different user out of the thousands on a different instance has said "nigger" 8 years ago is ultimately what destroys the entire point of decentralization.
I think if one day I find myself developing an alternative protocol, I'll just be the benevelant DICKtator for life of that project, and explicitely gatekeep instance blocking feature out.

As much as I'd like to take advantage of that by getting the soyful idiots to block us, as loli frog told me the other day, a hands off no rules and no censorship approach is a way better form of gatekeeping than trying to gatekeep with moderation, rules, and censorship.
