@davidgerard isn't reddit written in lisp?

@FediTips
I hear you, but wasn't it less than a year ago that the fediverse was in uproar over mastodon.social variants that seemed unhealthy?
Why can't individual accounts just block each other as they have on other services? Are other instances really this militant about unhealthy instances?
Over the years I've watched accounts transfer not once but many times, then also watched accounts just disappear.
I'm pretty dubious about encouraging blocks of large instances except as a last resort.

@quattrocchi @FediTips @Sujiyan @TheAdmin
I understand that moderation is necessary to maintain a safe place for healthy accounts. I also realize that much of the appeal of Mastodon lies in its decentralization. Blocking instances versus accounts seems like using a broad brush instead of a finer touch. Don't unhealthy accounts come and go? Might blocking the instance harm the instance's healthier accounts? Harm accounts on other instances that want to come and see the unhealthy accounts?
