There have been many questions about server blocking #fediblock
On Mastodon.world we don't block many servers (yet). I don't block a server because other instances do.
We block a server when they host many accounts which breach our rules, and no moderation is done against those accounts.
If there's a server you just personally don't like, you can personally block the domain for your account.

@ruud just out of interest is it possible to "unblock" a server for yourself as a user that was blocked by the instance?
Thank you for your work!
@arturN No, that's not possible. When someone thinks a server was blocked in mistake, they can contact us. If a user wants to see posts that break our rules, they need to migrate to another server 🙂
That's part and parcel of being a user. Mastodon allows an individual to block individuals and/or instances. That's the way it should be done. I've spent the time to rid my timeline of the "trash" I don't wish to see. Took a bit of time, but it was worth it. This isn't the Birdsite were people need decisions made for them by the God entity.
@marathon0 @arturN Well, then you picked the right server, which allows that. Users picking our server want a safe place and agree with the rules. That's the beauty of the fediverse, there's a server for everyone.
