Chris TrottierCool fact about Mastodon:
Not only can you block trolls, you can block entire servers and instances where trolls hang out.
Anyone can do this—not just moderators!
prozzy@atomicpoet How does blocking a server differ i in prescriber from blocking a Twitter user? I tried reading the explanation here but didn't write get it. I'm a newb, please help. :P
Josephine Robertson@prozzy @atomicpoet Blocking a server will block any accounts hosted there. So for example my account lives on writing.exchange. If you just hated book and didn't want to hear from a bunch of writers (maybe I was harassing you and getting my fellow writers to come bug you too) you could block writing.exchange and POOF none of us can see you anymore. (from accounts on that instance/server)
@revjorobertson @atomicpoet Thank you for the explanation, but I'm still a little confused about one thing. That applies as long as they aren't also on other servers where you come across them, correct?
