   • Freedombone Home Server
   Added the ability to block particular gnusocial/postActiv nicknames to the !Freedombone control panel under "domain blocking". There are existing block/mute controls via the API, but they're not perfect and so this just ensures that the spooks don't creep back in.
   
   Please note that this does not mean that I have assumed the wooly mantle of a Mastodonian who is fixated upon blocking and banning anyone they happen to politically disagree with. It's more about defending your server from potential legal threats.

     @awilfox well Mastodonia is now a lot larger than it was even a couple of weeks ago. When it was just mastodon.social, before the latest Twitter exodus, there was a lot of criticism of that server as an insular community who blocked or banned people for completely trivial reasons. Even the great @maiyannah was blocked there - I think due to some argument over unwillingness to fix federation bugs.
