        It turns out that setting up an Internet social arena is really hard. They have existed for decades, and the core mechanics and content policy make a big difference in the vibe of the communities that arise on it. What may work initially then becomes toxic. It’s very hard to predict where you’ll end up once the Eternal September kicks in.

        It’s not a solved problem at all!

      Instance admins can block communities, usually you’d do a purge (to erase the “cache” of the local copy of the community) and then block it.
