instead of yelling at individuals you can simply block them

let's break kayfabe for a minute:

have you considered: personally blocking each person you don't like for "spamming" "the" #fediblock hashtag, instead of rallying for "your" benevolent leaders to cut all ties with the entirety of the realm of "their" wicked despots and causing a rift in the propagation of the utopia that is decentralized federated microblogging posts

or do you just want to punish people

@mavica_again I don't know what the point of defederating is if not to remove assholes trying to polute a useful tool of antifascism.

@MutualAidMember yes, defederating an *entire instance* is useful when there is actual harm caused by *the entire instance* i.e. kiwifarms

getting uppity because that "tool" (a hashtag is not a formally defined tool) is being "misused" by people pointing out how it opens up to a lot of power trips from grifters is not it
