    And every user that uses that software for whatever reason, superior features, easier on the eyes, more popular it’s what everyone recommended will get their curation from that one dev.

      Which is why it’s ultimately the decision of the admin. Don’t like what the admin of your instance is doing. Go make your own. That’s the beauty of the fediverse. It’s choice all the way down. It’s not like Reddit where you’d be stuck.

        Huh?? It’s not up to the admin, that’s my point, the list is implemented by the dev and every instance that ran tesseract ran the same blocklist. My point is that it should be up to the admins of an instance, not the dev of software that gets deployed on multiple instances…
