outside of running your own instance, asking your instance’s owner to block them, or joining one that already has the offender on the blocklist, no. It’s requested a lot though so it’s probably on the todo list

of course the one person in europe who owns a pickup would park it on the sidewalk

Maybe I’ve just spent too long arguing with aholes on the internet but to me calling someone “friend” comes across as very sarcastic and condescending

Edit, it’s like calling someone you don’t know “buddy” or “pal”
