i only learned recently the sheer number of instances that have blocked this, my single user instance, and 90% of them based on rumor/speculation/because other instances said it was bad.
federated systems are unreliable.
@sneak Can we easily determine what instances an instance has blocked?
Having that transparency might make some admins a tad more reluctant to use the ban-hammer, IDK.
@berkes it says right on a masto instance's about page, linked from the homepage.
