In essence we've been there for a while, since before Mastodon was even a thing in fact. Remember how, a few weeks ago, Wil Wheaton was hounded off Mastodon by folks accusing him of transphobia? That was because he promoted a trans woman's prominent, widely-advertised anti-GamerGate blocklist that - much like all such blocklists - included people she disagreed with, some of whom were trans, and a bunch of Hollywood folks apparently copied it. Twitter has an entire feature designed to enable this kind of blind mass-blocklisting.
