They don’t ban you. The UI automatically hides certain instances, communities, users and posts. This is not officially documented and can’t be configured or turned off.
As far as I‘ve understood, „toxic mode“ only turns off some of the filters, not all.
Also:
The dev‘s definition of toxic is far from my own
Filtering belongs in the backend, not the fronted and should be configured by the instance admin and the individual user. We already have that in the form of moderation tools and blocks. If we wanted arbitrary third parties to dictate what we can see, we could have stayed on reddit.
There are some legitimate blocks in there to my understanding, the problem is they were/are mixed in with all the random “this hurts my feelings” blocks so it taints the whole thing
If there were opt in ‘spammers’ and ‘trolls’ lists it would be fine. The main problem is it being opt out and hidden, with it being a combination of those things plus ‘people I don’t like’ being secondary.

You can turn ‘toxic mode’ on and enable all the hidden posts, comments and users.

What a shitty name for not blocking content.
It should also be the default.

And they’re still adding to it.
It has more than just list of users, it also has random regex for message contents.
Toxic as defined by one person
Brittney is the only one allowed to define it.
Just checked and you’re on the list via regx
Most be new.
Congratulations on landing on the right side of history
Ah now I understand, its filtering. I bet it doesn’t warn you about that when you install it… *sigh
One more UI to ignore, thank you for the clarification.
one MORE ui to ignore? what else happened?
