   i'm not "pro censor", but i'm not going to unnecessarily expose users to instances which are extremely likely to harm them (e.g. with doxxing or swatting or whatever). i think that's a fair balance.
   
   i'm not handing out instance blocks or user blocks like Oprah over here. we *intentionally* let a lot of things slide that under other circumstances, we wouldn't let slide.

      i mean, if it were UP TO ME, we wouldn't have such a broken architectural design that the only answer is to basically perform surgery on the experience through blocks. instead, we would have a federation protocol fundamentally built on the principles of consent and mutual understanding, which is easily accomplished with modern security primitives such as OCAP.
      
      but this is now and that world doesn't exist yet. and that means as an admin, I have to make some tough calls once in a while. but it doesn't mean i particularly enjoy having to make these calls, or exclude people or whatever. i really don't like banning people off the island, i don't like receiving hate mail, etc.
