2/3 Instance hosts all have difficult decisions on moderation, an important way to make Mastodon a welcome and safe space. They can fully “block” or de-federate bad actors entirely or block media.

They can also "silence" or limit interaction. As I understand this allows you to follow people and read their toots, but crucially removes them from search results when you search for a hashtag. There may be some good reasons for this.

Attached are images that show the admin view:

I had some difficulty understanding the choices for setting the scope of one’s toots. I found this piece quite helpful an attach screenshot of the most relevant part. iOS app Toot! also describes the scope settings more clearly. “Unlisted” should still show up for your followers and be public on your profile but not show up on local instance feed, I understand correctly. I’m posting this as unlisted as a test. Followers seeing it?
