@pixelfed There seems to be an effort (one I have been discussing contributing to as well) to fork all the fediverse apps that include hard blocks.
Basically have the fork follow the upstream exactly, just with blocks removed.
Id be really curious to hear what your thoughts are on that movement and what your opinion might be of those groups.
As someone who wants to help contribute to that effort I also would hope you wouldnt see it as a hostile act, as I certainly support your project and appreciate your contributions.
