Yes blocking is no problem, block away. The problem is that the sysops of the big servers have too much power. It reminds me of student politics... The stakes are so low, yet there is so much drama..

@erici @hakona@im.alstadheim.no The other side of that coin is that petty tyrant admins who will censor at the drop of a hat are reluctant to defederate from larger instances since it isolates them more than it works as a punishment for individuals. Personally, I prefer a more hands off moderation (barring obvious stuff like naked bigotry, spam etc.), I don't want to always be wondering if my opinions align with what the mods think I should think. In that way some of the larger instances serve as an anchor.
