This isn’t Reddit you’re not banning their subreddit, they’re not deplatformed, you’re just adding them to the block list of everyone on your instance.
I can manage my own block list. You can manage your own block list.
You can’t manage my block list, and I can’t manage your block list. Fair?

I’m not the one trying to change the server.
If you’re not happy here then there are other instances for you.
