Blocking Spree

My ‘Don server admin has been on a blocking spree and a number of friends and people I follow got caught up. Like a full block, not just limited. This means zero interactions between the servers even if the accounts already follow each other.

Unfortunately this was inevitable with Mastodon growing so rapidly and with so many factors in play. Content moderation is a major thing on the Don and many of the long time admins can be quite strict on it, not to mention personal preferences on certain matters being a factor in deciding reasons for blocking ga limiting access. Unlike blocking, limiting means visibility if the accounts are connected.

I mean, their servers, their rules, no debating that and if it becomes untenable, you have an option to move or start your own.

Having said that, I’m considering running my own server eventually. Haven’t decided if it’s going to be just a personal one or open to registration among friends. Certainly not going to entertain any random person.
