@feditips the problem is the person owns the server and blocks you, the report button doesn’t work and have to reply to admin to over see the problem. You’ll also encounter alternative methods that bypass the block feature and make the problem worse. The block button is not the answer to trolls or bots. There’s needs a PSA to mastodon developers to solve theses issues.

@firecat @feditips the problem here lies not within Mastodon necessarily, but the underlying protocol, ActivityPub — there are ongoing attempts to fix, e.g., the recently published OcapN paper, but it's ultimately kinda complicated

@firecat

Speaking to single-user or small instances, I reported some pretty offensive behavior by an account on one to that instance's admin, who literally laughed at me in reply

And then proceeded to brigade me via *my* instance mods and admins

Took some fast talking and screenshots on my part to get my own instance admins to climb down off *my* case
