Just block and move on, I think 🤷 If they ban you, so what? I doubt any single instance forms a huge percentage of your experience here, and that goes double for some knob’s shite little personal instance. Put another way, that kind of moderation is never going to grow a large community; maybe they want it that way, but it does mean they’ll stay irrelevant to the majority of users. And the reasonable ones that person bans will make their own instance; the instance with the most reasonable moderation will end up with the most users.
At least, this is how I’ve been using it. Just firehose the lot at first and filter down the noise over time. My block list is long, communities and users. Hell, I’ll block a whole community if I see the admin or a mod being a dick. I feel this has only improved my experience.
I’m worried because they’re the same instance as me. If I somehow gets the evil eye from them and get banned, does that mean I’m just banned from that comm or instance? I think atomicpoet isn’t a piefed.social instance admin (too lazy to check)

Wait, what have you blocked and why so many? I usually block just foreign-language communities.
There’s always more hentai to block
Lots of botted communities too. I’d rather posts come from real people and my “All” feed not get flooded.

No not from the instance. I think that would take @rimu@piefed.social or an admin. Worst that bro can do is ban you from that community.
And to be honest this the first real controversy of piefed. So congrats! Its a real platform now!
OK that tracks with my understanding.
And yeah a real platform has to have controversy!1
