       .art has been unblocked because it was a bad decsion from my part to block the whole community instead of the nasty admin..Unblocked the domain and suspended the adminI'm afraid it's only a matter of time before that admin is gonna look for things to ban usThat's what they do

       @stux what's going on there? So far I had quite a good impression of that instance?

       @stux It takes some guts to have introspection and revert the decision. Well done.

       @stux Time will tell. Meanwhile you've done the right thing by unblocking the community. .art has value for a lot of us.

       @stux thanks for reconsidering. Toxic shits like that are a sad fact of life, but you shouldn't let them get under your skin.

       @stuxJust for curiosity sake, have you blocked an entire top level domain?

       @stux It's not possible to not make mistakes but it is possible to learn from mistakes. Well done.The power to add to a public block list with no responsibilities to review that block at a later date is guaranteed to (1) accumulate blocks by bad actors (2) accumulate blocks by mistake (3) embed bad actor blocks and mistake blocks into the fediverse.  Public block lists are trust misplaced if there's no review process.I'm all for blocks by anyone for any or no reason. But w/o review? Nah.

       @stux I'm sorry to say it, but you partially brought this on yourself.It would be nice, if everybody stopped panicking, and react less weird. It would also be nice if they wouldn't react to knee-jerk reactions with more knee-jerk reactions (you included).

       @stux Probably never a good idea to defederate anyone on a whim without due process, but I understand why the management gave you reason to. Thank you for your openness in the way you've dealt with it.

       @stux it was the right decision to unblock the domain and admit it was a rushed choice on your part. No worries, we all do mistakes sometimes. It's important to learn from this experience.Thus I could grasp at least a couple of points as feed forward: 1) consider establising an Announcements mechanism where people decent heads-up about such a wide-impacting action.2) openly mention future issues to the Community you have here, perhaps via a Poll, as their Input help your decision-making.

       @stux Thanks! I too applaud your introspection and courage to revert a decision. We all make mistakes, that's okay, and moderation is a tough and thankless job most of the time anyway. But this reversal is, I think, quite important for the health of the fediverse as a whole, so I'm glad it was made.

       @stux “I'm afraid it's only a matter of time before that admin is gonna look for things to ban usThat's what they do”What are you trying to say? This is some toxic shit. Perhaps it’s time for some internal reflection.

       @stux @Seth @andijah There is one person twisting stuff to an incredible degree, and it's not WelshPixie. The intellectual dishonesty you have displayed today is astounding.

       @stux I'm glad you've reconsidered the decision. As far as I understand it it's not possible to completely undo the consequences (followers lost on both sides).Are planning to add some kind of process to prevent this from happening in the future?

       @stux Those pesky "Nasty Women" at it again. It gets worse and worse even after they have been exposed in 2016, I tell ya. Nasty women all over the place, doing nasty things. - Nice Guy

       @stux I'm glad you reversed. However this showed such poor judgment on your part I'm having to look elsewhere. I'm really disappointed in your decisions in the past couple of days.

       @stux I realize your moderation is a heavy burden in time and responsibility big thanks . All the more convinced #fediverse sustainability is not reachable without a regular financial contribution to you and other admins. Big thanks for everything you are doing 🙏🏼

       @stux Thank you, much appreciated. When I saw your block notice and contemplated moving, I remembered the “About the Author” page at the end of my WIP and felt the worry rise. Would like to stay put forever. Thank you as always for your good work.

       @stux I'm glad - mainly for your own peace as an admin - that you've unblocked .art.Fully with you on the personal block, though - and thanks for reminding me of the welshpixie alt. I foolishly followed-back when I switched instances. I didn't migrate normally (old account is still live) and it got through as a result of her husband and the South African connection and a flood of new followers. I'd clashed with her before over local issues - and "nasty" is a good summary there, too.

       @stux youre not wrong. I actually always cite .art as how NOT to run a mastodon instance. To their credit, they replied to my post and were very courteous.But the kind of people they courted, who were present in their replies… exemplified the kind of culture they were creating and its a hideous thing:I was being snarky and commented that their policy of banning whole instances for single-user problems was like… shutting down all of deviantart because a posted once.Then this brain trust…
