"there's nothing in the software that'll stop bad actors from harassing you from the fediverse so you should only use it if you're ok with that" is the ultimate "the safest sex is abstinence" and it's wild to me how many people here are drilling that right now
@angelastella if you think the block button is more than a suggestion, in the way activitypub works, you are in for a nasty surprise
@angelastella pleroma, for instance, is one of the fediverse softwares that are famously able to completely ignore a remote block action and the people you block will still see all of your posts
So that's where the hate comes from.
Oh, I know the protocol leaks like a sieve, in particular if your instance is misconfigured. But for casual motherfuckers works ok.
@angelastella my original post doesn't refer to you then
@mavica_again
"Nothing"? I swear there was a block button somewhere.
