+## policies
+
+digitigrade has a "policy" mechanism that allows you to alter or outright
+reject incoming notes/actors/interactions as well as anything created by local
+users, according to your needs. there are some built-in policies (such as
+`Digitigrade\Policy\BlockInstance` which rejects anything from certain
+instances) and you can configure them in `policies.conf.php`.
+
+the default configuration allows you to specify a list of blocked instances in
+the file `blocked-instances.txt`, one domain per line
