i've been tempted to block all the big instances we currently have silenced but idk… people here follow people there
Follow
my major concern is posts here showing up on federated timelines there and then getting boosted by someone outside our usual cultural sphere, leading to context collapse
moderation isn't good enough there to ensure that the people seeing and boosting our public posts are necessarily the people with our interests at heart
because i don't (can't) proactively moderate against smaller instances with a handful of users until they become a problem, it's really important that the big instances we send posts to only federate to small instances which are friendly
