Sure. Click your profile top right -> settings -> Blocks -> Block instance

Another idea is to work with it in the meantime. Threads like this make people aware. Comics that make fun of this stuff or show the opposite side of the coin, etc.

Alright, I spammed the thread enough 🤐

I’m a volunteer and can’t read this shit. DENIED.

I’m out of my depths here. Automatic federation seems like something that shouldn’t be a technical necessity though.

I hope others will chime in on this thread :)

But I think if it became the norm, instances can be straight-up blocked who don’t do have this process, even if many people use it. As people will see the good stuff is elsewhere and anyone who cares enough will do this little extra step. (the philosophy of being active in good places to grow them)

In other words. If this became a real thing, any respectable instance could just not federate with instances that don’t have this process.

I think the way forward as the next line of defense is to vet accounts. This has been suggested before and I believe quite a few instances do it already. Similar thing on Mastodon.

It doesn’t have to be a strict process, to start with anyway, but at least require people to write a quick paragraph of why they want to join.

It does mean more work, though. But I think if it became the norm, instances can be straight-up blocked who don’t do have this process, even if many people use it.

Other people have written about this more eloquently and with stronger arguments. :)

Yes! A reason to post this!

Oh my god, the hat!

Thanks for sharing, I think I’ve just found my new favorite cartoon artist.

That’s pretty cool and very kind of you. But I was exaggerating, though it does hit me more than it should.

But cognitively I know it’s usually not that big of a deal. Sometimes the way I communicated is an issue, or somebody interpreted it wrong, or they are having a bad day, being unreasonable, or I just straight up made a mistake. It could be so many things.

I find this article pretty useful for anyone who might struggle with this and rejection in general:

Help, I want to report an assault!

Admirable. A single down-vote, even out of 200 and I take physical damage for the next few days.
