@stux@mstdn.social I'd also like to add that it can hurt your users because it cuts off their own ability to moderate and follow who they feel comfortable with. There are other options outside of blocking.

@stux I'm blocking you because you don't block instances that block instances that don't block other instances!

@stux Thank you for having sane policies. That’s why I like it here.

@stux Yeah, I think it’s definitely a symptom of Purity Spirals. It can definitely happen and people need to look critically at their own ‘tribe’ for evidence of Purity Spiral formation
