⚖️ Federation policyWe aim for an acceptable balance between reach and safety that allows our members to share their work with the widest possible audience while ensuring that they feel comfortable and safe on our server. For this reason, we primarily block individual bad actors and only resort to the defederation of entire servers in cases of particular hardship.
In addition, we encourage you to use the tools provided by Mastodon (e.g., filtering, muting, blocking and reporting) to curate your timeline according to your own preferences.
