Sanity check: if you block an instance's Actor (eg, server.domain@server.domain), does that block the whole instance?

I don't see why it wouldn't, but I'm making some big assumptions, and I'm not sure if this is standard for non-Masto servers.

It seems that Mastodon has an Actor that matches the domain (server.domain@server.domain), but Akkoma has (internal.fetch@server.domain).

I'm trying to write some advice to people on systems that only offer user blocks, but not domain blocks. If this works, great, but it feels like a game of whack-a-mole if you have to guess the server Actor handle from one implementation to the next... 😓

dracoling,

@deadsuperhero As Far As I Know, that would only block non-follow interactions. So for instance if you blocked my instance's actor I could still follow you, but not add you to a list without following you.

mima,

@deadsuperhero Nope, doesn't seem so. Blocked a #Mastodon instance I have an alt of from my #Misskey here, and then posted from the Mastodon. Can still see the post from there. ​:mima_think:​

@mima Dang, good to know.

It seemed to make sense in my head, but I figured it might be more of an assumption than anything else. Just wanted to check before giving people bad advice!
