Rename "Block domain <instance>" to "Mute domain <instance>". Β· Issue #37775 Β· mastodon/mastodon

Pitch When I click on a post by a user, I see the option Block domain <instance>. The problem is that this is not a block as you can set for users, but rather a mute. This can lead to misunderstand...

@g @JoeStewart @joaocosta Oh hi!

Thanks for letting yourself be known, Russian propaganda outlet! πŸ™‚

Now that #Threads has begun the process of #Federation with the greater #Mastodon community (and the #Fediverse in general), I am seeing more and more instances that are electing to #defederate from Threads pre-emptively.
This means that they are not giving their users the choice as to whether they want to see this content.

If your Admin has decided to arbitrarily block Threads, and you wish to have access to the thriving #community there moving forward, I would suggest looking to #migrate your account to another instance that is maintaining Federation with Threads.

You will generally be able to see this information in the "Moderated Servers" section of your instances "/about" page. If you do not see it there, be sure to ask your Admin.

If you decide that you wish to make this migration, I have created some short guide videos on not only how to migrate your account across easily, but also another on how to ensure your list of followed accounts (and blocked ones) can be brought along with you.

How To Easily Migrate your Mastodon Account to Another Server without losing your Followers

Dear Friends,

Today was the first time I blocked a domain on Mastodon. I hope it works!

I blocked it in my browser by going to a profile page of an account from that server, clicking the menu (three vertical dots next to the Notify bell) and selecting Block Domain at the bottom of the list.

Be well!

@perigee @caffeneko Click on the three dots ... on the bottom line of the toot. The pop-up menu contains "block domain indieweb.social" (for example)
