I interpreted differently. I assumed the thread was on blahaj but was not a meta thread about blahaj. However, you’re probably right.

If they were on another instance and just had a disagreement with a blahaj user about the term, then I’d say that’s over moderation to block them unless they were being abusive, or a dick about it.

I could also see how a mod could block him as a user and accidentally block him from the instance if it was a year ago as mod tools weren’t great. Although I don’t use them.

However, as you say, depending on what the comments were, it could be the blahaj user was the one being the dick here.
