I still think that as more people enter into Mastodon and other ActivityPub instances, a lot of these issues with spurious and silly blocking will fade away.
I suspect the problem is less people in general and more the kind of people attracted to becoming Mastodon admins when it was still very small and insular compared to now.

It will depend entirely on how the community responds.. if they cheer it on it will continue. If people raise up to object and stick together it wont.
I hope you are right.. I am skeptical but do know it can change for the better.

I tend to think there will be more spurious and silly blocking as more the kind of corruptible people attracted to the power of being any kind of "admin" will take it up and collectively assert power to urinate on things other people are doing they don't agree with. Problems such as this tend to become worse, rather than better with scale.
