Instance admins are often targeted by the instances they block, with the admins of the toxic instances emailing them straw man arguments and sealioning questions meant to have them question their decisions and trick them into thinking they're being unfair.

As I'm often asked for advice with how .art deals with these shitheels, in the next toot I'm going to provide a simple guide that anyone can use the next time the disingenuous admin of Another Toxic Instance emails them.

Q: You're labeling us guilty by association and that's unfair.
A: I can block anyone for any reason.

Q: We federate with (x) but we don't talk to them. Blocking us for that is wrong.
A: I can block anyone for any reason.

Q: We don't interact with your instance anyway so blocking us is unnecessary.
A: I can block anyone for any reason.

Q: You block the fash instances we're friends with anyway, so it doesn't affect you.
A: I can block anyone for any reason.
