@dtluna blocks are a tool for filtering out content from your feed - it's nothing more.

Instance-wide blocks are dishonest for three reasons:
- they damage the network by breaking threads and so on
- certain masadong instances don't publish the reasons for blocks, almost all hide it on a secondary page that can be overlooked by a potential new user
- distributed blocklists based on flimsy reasons that are approved as truth
Beyond that, I don't particularly care about blocking mechanisms. *Reasons* for blocking might be funny to me though.
