Moderator lesson: It's OK to site-block someone from another instance for being randomly shitty and mean-spirited to more than one person on your instance. Don’t need any specific "…isms".

Well, it really depends on how the instance wants to function. And this needs to be emphasized:
**Site blocking disempowers all users from making that blocking decision for themselves.**
If an instance wants to operate that way, with moderators acting as gatekeepers to protect the community, hopefully implementing judgment that the whole community jives with, then great.
But that tradeoff must be considered and grappled with.
I wouldn't want to be part of such an instance, but to each their own around here.
@volkris @timbray a moderator who doesn’t occasionally gatekeep is no moderator at all
