tired: blocking a single user based on their activity
wired: blocking their entire instance with them
@taiz @eal Silence just means they're hidden from public timelines. Not that they're blocked. You can find someone manually. But you won't see them on the federated timeline.
Also it's the opposite. I think ONLY instance owners can block other instances. Users can only block individual users as far as I know.
@quad @eal it’s impressively dead though, last post was on the 25th
