@stux i never understood the infighting over blocking, if you (instance A) block an instance B doesn't that mean that even if instance C still federates with B you don't see the content anyway? if so, what's the problem?

@evolbug
I think the issue is, if you block instance B, instance B can still get the info from instance A via federating with an instance C?

@antijingoist @stux why does that matter? posts and account information are open to the entire web through the AP api regardless, unless explicitly obscured. blocking only goes one way, you can only stop incoming things from specific addresses, not outgoing. forcing others to defederate with someone you dislike to avoid reads is a futile exercise, especially for large instances where the pathways are in the order of tens of thousands
