@segfault This true for most Mastadon instances. Kitty.club is not the only Mastadon Instance doing that. The original Mastadon and everything associated with it has started that trend. Gargron is not the first one either. gnu-social.de and pretty much everything ran by en kompis en kompis have blocked entire instances after blocking accounts wasn't enough for them. This broke half of the federation and split everything associated with that into 4 big freedom centric bonfires full of the same kind people who were sick of Jack Doresey and his Safety Council filtering people against their will. This is why we consider filtering entire instances a big NO NO.
