This takes me back to how much time I spent on these games and how much I loved them.

It started with a discussion on sh.itjustworks, but due to the open nature of federation, anyone can wander in to the discussion, as you can see with input from users outside our instance.
There was some confusion, some trolling, but I think if as a user you weren't really active in our Main or Agora communities it may not have been something you would have been aware of, if that makes sense.
Honestly in my experience, most (I'd say as close to all as you can get) of sh.itjustworks users are really just here to chill and make an awesome experience.
Genuine apologies, as that's not my intent.
We've had what has seemed (to me) an influx of just really bad faith and downright trolling type stuff going down recently and it's perhaps colored my take on things more than I realized, and it probably has for others as well.
We really did just come here for the chill vibe, read the thing, and were like "yeah, this works for me."
Other things may get added to that block list in the future, yes. I pointed you to the Agora because you may not, as a new user, be aware of it, as the Dude set it up as the place where these kinds of decisions will most likely be made in the future and where community discussions tend to be focused.
However, as a Canadian based instance, they have different laws on what does and doesn't put them at risk, so there are times where those calls may be his and his to make alone (which is why there are two where there was only one on the list of defederated).
You're asking a person with a day job who is doing a cool thing for the fediverse community and set up a community in sh.itjustworks (Agora) to handle these possible future blocks to give you a granular breakdown of the blocking of one instance in a justification they don't really owe you.
The community itself is trying to be chill and just vibe. If what we're doing fits what you're looking for, welcome.
Given that your account showed up immediately during the defederation of sh.itjustworks discussion and the removal of a certain account and community, I think the bad faith argument is valid.
This is the way.
Given that one of the rules for the server is no bigotry, I would assume that extends to the ones we federate with from what I read.
"Shit just works", but that's just because I came here when others were overwhelmed, so...
