Radicalisation and the Fediverse

This content was marked as sensitive. Click to reveal

I blocked qoto.org some time ago, yet here there are people replying to my thread from qoto.org

This is another reason why "leaving it to the individual" doesn't work, certain other instances simply aren't respecting blocks. They're getting their replies tagged onto my threads and there's nothing I can do to stop them.

The irony of this is qoto.org claims to leave blocking entirely up to the individual. Yet they refuse to respect my blocking of them.

Whatever the original topic that started it all, you're obviously getting slammed about this. But I will say that your account is incredibly important and amazingly helpful, and I can only imagine it must take a lot of your time. THANK YOU for all you do, and keep up the great work! ❤️

@feditips I’v added it to mine. I wish I could wish my instance could just auto accept this sort of thing, or at the very least notify me so i could manually review the request.

Wait, hang on.

Since qoto.org isn't fediblocked on mstdn.social, I'm guessing you blocked the domain in your personal preferences?

That doesn't prevent users on that domain from seeing your posts, because unlike a personal block, your server can't instruct the remote server to not show every user your stuff, since it doesn't know who all the users on that domain are.

A server-wide block is, more accurately, a "hide".

See docs.joinmastodon.org/user/mod and the section below for precise details.
