@anna @ben nobody is whispering in anyone's ear.
i'm the one who wrote all of the block handling code, and i'm the one who made it configurable.
i know why i made it configurable: it is our policy to make all side effects not explicitly documented in the AP spec configurable.
i know this because i also instilled that mantra.
i don't know who opened the bug over on mastodon gitlab about blocks federating, but they weren't a pleroma dev.
and, either way, they have a point. whether they have an agenda that is different than mine is irrelevant -- they have a point, and i pointed out that their point is valid.
i've also explained multiple times how to do federated blocking safely.
and, frankly, if you are just operating from the assumption that everyone on the pleroma team is a nazi other than me, then you can fuck off like the other kid i called out.
