I think this article makes a really good point about how mastodon/fediverse doesn't have good tools to manage relationships between instances.
A single user instance like mine is open to harassment and dog piling, and I have no method of managing that other than blocking after the fact.
Hollo allows user blocking, but not instance blocking (yet), and I'm cognizant of the fact that if I happen to say something that draws the wrong crowd it's difficult to protect myself.
