What a fucking hateful choice of colours. Green for blocking and red for allowing communication. Really shows what kind of perspective the creator has.

Apparently this is a divisive topic, moreso than expected. Edited for clarity.

Huh? Green means it has been blocked and needs no further action. Red means it needs attention [if you're on the side of defederating that is].

Everywhere else, red means stop and green means go. Here, the creator has chosen to reverse that to emphasize that they consider blocking to be good and allowing people to connect to be bad.

No attention is needed for the instances that are marked with red. They are federating.
