Gotosocial and Jabber(XMPP) have blocklists too. Optional ones.

Optional is great. which means people are told that it’s there. The downvote brigade is here for a reason though. Red.dit flashbacks.

Is this a hard comparison to ongoing controversy? I’m on a mobile but can come back on a desktop. Although yeah cloudflare, hmmm, never heard of it, but my neighbor is yelling at their dog

Instances choosing to implement their own blocks for their instance is different than a front end developer sneaking a block list in an obscure way that impacts multiple instances.

No it’s not. If I have an instance that blocks any mention of lgbtq+, or trump, or biden, or whatever, that wouldn’t be cool at all. It would be fine if they told you up front, but not if it’s a secret.

You can’t see the difference between one instance making a decision for themselves and a dev making a secret decision that affects multiple instances?
