You're at a table, booked by your friend. Your friend doesn't like tea, so tells the wait staff 'No tea for the entire table! Tea is blocked! Don't ever bring that to this table while I'm at it's head!'
Unpopular opinion: That's what I feel like this whole threads blocking behaviour by #mastodon admins is like.
*Telling* your users that 'While I rule the roost, you will never! Talk to anyone on that thing!' Dictatorial much?

Feels a might-bit ''''arrogant corporation' telling me I can't sideload, or watch this, or download that but that's just me.
