What

It’s nice for you that the instances being blocked just so happen to be ones you don’t like, but did you not consider that there’s probably alot of people who don’t have issues with those instances and don’t find them toxic. Your personal blocklist is there so you can curate your own feed, and that is not what the instance blocklist is for and they aren’t and shouldn’t be treated like the same thing. Tldr, just block an instance in your personal blocklist and move on, no need to make it everyone else’s problem.

Yeah this is true for a good amount of proprietary software but not really for most Foss software, which I mostly use now

I think there’s no problem unless you can’t opt out of them, automatic updates are convenient for a lot of people like me, who forgets to check for updates to things

Agree with the .zip instances, it’s nice to not randomly lose access to communities over instance drama
