i have a rooted android (running calyx) and it just works and its great. i never fuck around with it at all, whether due to necessity or ricing desires.

blocking instances for users was added in 0.19. it works like community block: you don’t see any posts from an instance, but you can see the activity of users from that instance on any other instances where they do stuff.

[this is not an endorsement of federating with any meta product. i believe in deplatforming hostile actors, which they’ve well and truly proven themselves to be.]
