@doot Mistakes happen, I wont fault you for making one, I make plenty. The important part is if we correct our mistakes and improve, so your good.
I fault the fediverse for this. I have always had the policy that if a server blocks us I respectfully and politely email them once, and only once in the hope they are willing to resolve it. I dont always know when we get blocked though.
Sadly people do sometimes scream harassment at contacting them, and i can understand why that makes others scared to talk, it is a huge problem in the fdiverse where simply trying to resolve issues maturely is conflated with harassment.
As I said, this is a problem I am doing my best to solve as I feel if we just have conversations a lot of these issues can get resolved.
