I have moved to @js@nil.im. While I did use the "move accounts" feature, it is pretty unreliable. If you're seeing this message, it means it didn't work, so please follow @js@nil.im manually. Thanks.

@delroth As a user, I'm quite happy that my instance doesn't block a lot of other instances. I like to make my own decisions of what I see and what I don't see. Breaking federation is what's going to kill the Fediverse eventually - some instances basically block almost every other instance. However, I don't mind having ignore lists that you are subscribed to by default and can remove. In the end, it should be all about freedom of choice.

@delroth I‘m absolutely not against having a default ignore list that you are subscribed to by default when you register. The problem is when I *want* to see a problematic post, e.g. for context, but can’t because the admin has decided to decide for me. I’m all fine with a default block list if there is an opt out.

@delroth Yeah, that's essentially my point. S2S is on the wrong layer, and there should be an opt-out. Give control what to see to the user, not the admin.

@delroth I guess this is personal preference. Personally, I like to see poa.st or even gab. I like to know what those I disagree with think and are up to and not live in my own bubble. But then again, I know about them and just ignore their bait. I wouldn’t even have replied like Torvalds did.

@delroth But then again, some instance block my instance because it doesn’t block e.g. poa.st. And that is just going way too far. I get blocked because I’d like to know what they are up to and get treated like one of them even though I have no connection to them. In German, we call this „Sippenhaft“ which is a big no no.
