I mean yeah, maybe it won't affect me directly, I like the instance I'm on and it's a pretty respectable one. However, indirectly, this is very relevant to any Fediverse user, regardless of the instance or platform they're using. Allowing abuses like this to happen without any pushback is a surefire way of turning this place into a shithole just like the rest of the internet. I appreciate the fact that, at least for now, it's different here.

Also, maybe this isn't my only homebase? Just saying.
