The proliferation of #ActivityPub is exciting. But don't dismiss those that want to defederate with corporate socials. The #fediverse was built by individuals escaping the harassment they faced on those platforms.
If you don't agree with your server admin's decision to federate with a specific domain, you can block it on your own. You have the power!
This seems preferable to an admin making the decision for all users.
@box464 I don't think there's any loopholes here. They may still get replies to you (if they're set to public & the person replying has followers on threads, but that's the same with instance-level domain blocks afaik).
@eloquence@box464 from what I can tell, the search functionality doesn't take into account the users domain blocks (or account blocks for that matter afaict)
@box464 It's unintuitive right now, but you have to first go to that domain's page on kbin.social and click the block 🚫 button in the sidebar. I'm not sure if it blocks users from that domain or just posts with links to that domain though. For example, here's mastodon.social's page, and the block button is in the sidebar.
