@Freefromfall @ryo @hakui @neatchee Up to a point that’s fair. Personally, I believe fragmentation of the fediverse is harmful to the overall goal. However, you are correct that a person could go elsewhere. From my perspective, for what that’s worth, it’s harmful to blanket ban instances and import mass block lists where the admin has little to no idea who generated the list, what criteria may have been used, whether those instances were truly bad in the first place and so on. To continue with mk.absturztau.be as an example, every interaction I’ve ever had with them has been nice and good. So, presuming you haven’t had a different direct experience with them, we’re back to them getting block based on nothing more than what amounts to a purity test and submission to an ideology of “guilt by association”. Is that fair? Is that right? Clearly for me, it isn’t. Of course, you’re free to run your instance however you like. I would just suggest that maybe actually investigating some of the blocks instead of just blindly importing them might be a good idea, you know?
