@[email protected] I hope you can see this. I’m told there’s a blocking issue on servers. I can’t follow you at the moment. As soon as I can, I will again.
@EmmaKennedy I've heard a few things like this, plus instances blocking instances. Seems disconcerting.
@kepilo @EmmaKennedy Different instances have different policies, for example a lot of servers block mastodon.scot due to controversial decisions regarding who they let join.

Controversial decisions...? I don't understand: I get that in a federated space, any one instance is free to block another, but an explanation of why would be helpful. Individual cases must have been pretty serious in order to trigger such action. Where would I / others find examples or an explanation?
