Creatrix TiaraWas witches.town one of the Instances where the admins block certain other instances? If so, can I talk to one of the mods privately?
beatrix bitrot@creatrixtiara it is and the admin is alda who is probably asleep. i also use their blocklist on my instances. I think nolan of toot.cafe does similarly
maloki@creatrixtiara if it's a general question Mastodon.social does too. Some servers are more vocal about blocking /silencing (two different ways to treat problematic servers).
Sometimes it seems that block is the only option, while it's not. Silence only lets you interact with people you mutually follow on there, and you tend to have to follow them first.

@maloki well there's one instance that seems intent on hounding me and blocking every last person is tiresome
@creatrixtiara when you block do you report as well so the admins/mods can have a look at it?
We are doing our best to keep up, but it's a bit hard sometimes.
(I'm not an admin/mod, but I work with them closely and help with support)

malte@creatrixtiara A few other instances that do care about their users, and communicate which other instances are blocked quite clearly (mostly at the bottom of their about/more page):

Daniel@creatrixtiara yep and I also block on wizards.town
What do you want to know about the blocking?
