 @polotek because I want to opt out and I do not want to force my preference on the largest instance in my country. Let others make their own choices. It's that simple. Edit: Afterthought: If personally blocking bluesky opts me out, I'm already good 👍 7 comments
@polotek but I can, as an individual, block an instance. So I'm not sure why you ask. And, yes, this is a very important feature for me, since instance moderation failures can create troll ghettos. @polotek ... and, if "block bluesky" is *already possible, at an individual level, creating this special featureset for bluesky seems a waste 🤔 A) features need to be mirrored/accomodated in 3rd party apps, and also maintained. Only features that add real value are worth this (mostly volunteer) effort. B) It seems to creates a sub-class of fedizens with special treatment -- unnecessarily, since a person or an instance can already block. This seems contra to the feel of fedi as it is today.  @deborahh fedi is not a place. And there's no people to "ensure" anything. @polotek ok, granted. But it's a federation, right? Which I assume means there are conversations between admins, some agreements, and other recommendations made. @deborahh unfortunately no. These are reasonable assumptions at a high level. But the truth is a lot messier. |

@deborahh what if you can't block individually. Does that mean mastodon itself doesn't actually meet your needs in terms of privacy? Because your decisions are too bound up with everybody else on your instance?
