@kel WTAF??? Wow! Most of the blocks I have here are just the insufferable techies, not full on criminal shit.
I love Mastodon, but it has a special type of elitism that seems to hint at the only way to stop it would be to block all but a very few. Kinda defeats the purpose of it to me so... eh. Mute words, however, I use the shit out of that. Have about 1,000 and it keeps all the politics and other stuff out of the fead here. That part is awesome.
