Instance admins/mods: How often do you get questions from instances you've blocked's admins asking about why you blocked them, or asking to get unblocked? I've heard from some admin friends that this has been happening more lately and I'm wondering how much that happens?

@Shrigglepuss In .art's experience, the only admins who reach out after we've blocked them are disingenous or doubling down on shitty behaviour. The admins who want to do better just fix their problems and address the reasons they got blocked. Qoto kinda started the trend for us of admins contacting to ask why we blocked though.
@welshpixie Would you say it's happening more recently? It's awful to me that they'd cross a very clearly set boundary while also feeling so entitled to stink up your space
@Shrigglepuss Yeah definitely.
@welshpixie @Shrigglepuss I think since that kiwifarms bullshit thing to find out which servers blocked yours, a lot more shitty places started contacting etc.
fuchsiaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
@maloki @welshpixie @Shrigglepuss yep definitely since the kiwifarms tool released, qoto of course and 2-3 others. and we're a tiny instance, like who cares
@f0x @welshpixie @Shrigglepuss iirc, this was part of why that one journo instance got blocked too, because they promoted it uncritically?
