Ok

Mastodon.art suspended me for interacting with people from blocked instances however I won't just go around and block every instance in their own blocklist when I haven't seen any issues from these instances myself.

Let me be clear, I will block anything that I find or gets reported to me that contains racism, homophobia, extremism, pedophilia, harassment and anything of the sort. But I just won't import a blocklist that I do not approve myself.

This whole notion does not make sense for single user instances. Especially with the fact that even if I interact with someone from a blocked instance the other server will not receive the blocked instance post, only mine.

I do find it sad that many people are pushing for more small instances but when you manage one you get blocked for not moderating OTHER instances?

This will only push users into signing up to bigger instances and discourage people to host their own

@Sakuradancer @feinzer i never told anyone not to interact with me so i guess it's them telling others not to interact with me? seems a bit arbitrary to me

@Sakuradancer @feinzer i think there was a website that checks but i forgot what it is
i only found out about .art blocking me because i saw the first post in the thread and checked because i was curious, and there it was lol

There was another instance that posted about getting blocked by .art and they were like 36 hours old lmao

So I also got curious and checked

Show threadGordoff Proprietarywoman  Feb 20, 2023
@feinzer @arh that is, where check for my own instance everywhere, I'm not blocked by .art
Show threadfeinzerFeb 20, 2023
@Sakuradancer @arh Go to their site, then go to their /about page

There, look for the Moderated servers dropdown, you can see the list of which servers they have either silenced or suspended communications with

@feinzer @arh yeh ik, im not on there, just wondering where its possible to check for all known instances
Show threadfeinzerFeb 20, 2023
@Sakuradancer @arh ah my bad, don't know either. I've only got curious about it that one time and just checked directly

I hope I'm not on more blocklists tho, literally single user instance lmao
