switchingsocial: @cameron @brainblasted @dirb p.s. Just to make clear, the same principle applies to apps: there is no one app for the Fediverse, it's an open platform so anyone can write one.This isn't like Twitter where a central authority approves apps.There's obviously a smaller choice of apps than instances, so you could say the bar for blocking an instance should be higher, but in extreme cases (and IMHO this is an extreme case) it is ok for the app developer to make a decision like this.
