Domain Blocks
Besides blocking individual users, instance moderators can use domain blocks to pre-emptively moderate against all users from a particular server.
It comes with several different levels of severity:
# Reject media
- no files from the server will be processed locally
- that includes avatars, headers, emojis and media attachments.
# Limit
- Previously called “Silencing”
- Limited account is hidden to all users on that instance, except for its followers
- Content is still there, and it can still be found via search, mentions, and following, but the content is invisible publicly.
# Suspend
- means the account is effectively deleted
- no longer appears in search, the profile page is gone, all of the posts, uploads, followers, and all other data is removed publicly
- remote accounts will unfollow any suspended account
