Limit Previously known as “silencing”. A limited account is hidden to all other users on that instance, except for its followers. All of the content is still there, and it can still be found via search, mentions, and following, but the content is invisible publicly. At this moment, limit does not affect federation. A locally limited account is not limited automatically on other servers. Account limitations are reversible.

Moderating entire websites Because individually moderating a large volume of users from a misbehaving server can be exhausting, it is possible to pre-emptively moderate against all users from that particular server using a so-called domain block, which comes with several different levels of severity. Reject media With this option active, no files from the server will be processed locally. That includes avatars, headers, emojis and media attachments. Limit Equivalent to limiting all past and future accounts from the server. Previously known as “silencing”. Suspend Equivalent to suspending all past and future accounts from the server. No content from the server will be stored locally except for usernames. Suspending a server will remove all existing follow relationships between local accounts and accounts on the suspended server. They will not be restored in case the remote server is un-suspended later.
