Can confirm.
Just about a week ago I had an interaction with some schizoid user that started info-dumping on me via replies, while also claiming they hoped mastodon will be better at keeping the-people-they-didnt-like off the platform.
I briefly mentioned that's not how mastodon works (federation and stuff) and that there are some counter-measures available (with the ultimate weapon being de-federation) but they just wouldn't listen. "mastodon" had to keep the trolls away!
Needless to say, such user was very, very, VERY pushy. When I asked them to stop being so pushy, this user just blocked me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I wonder if that user started claiming I was some kind of troll too.
