Been clearing out my pod a bit and blocking unwanted domains that are basically either a) just noise and/or b) are just 1-way (whose authors never reply or are otherwise unaware of the larger ecosystem)

@dfaria@twtxt.net Sorry this has pissed you off so much (unintentional) – Also why the irrational outburst?! 😱 That’s no way to have discourse or help improve anything 🤦♂️

@dfaria@twtxt.net Cancelling is a strong word. I’d you follow your other feed yourself it’s still visible to you!
