get you a mastodon instance with fewer than three nines

« Things just happen now » well i say there’s a reason for that

kind of girl who likes Garden of Delete as an album but still usually just plays “I Bite Through It” on repeat 100 times

i’m also writing a zine

this in addition to my document on bad changes in Mastodon 4.0, and one on QTs and consciousness-raising, and one on general approaches when moderating federation with other instances, and…

i’ve been meaning to write up a “THINGS YOU SHOULD REPORT” document but haven’t yet…

@alyssa i think we've only explicitly defedded from ones which specifically say “no ML”

our policies are targeted at GOOD actors lol

anywho if you think any GlitchCat policy is motivated by “bad actors”, you have a very misguided view of who we federate with

you cannot maintain plausible deniability of a policy if you subtoot it 🙃

@gaditb our instance is close to weirder.earth but i'm not sure the reverse is true

@ada @effy right, my point is that the number of non-mastodon instances who actually follow our users is slim (and single-user ones already are exempt)

i have no qualms about silencing large non-mastodon instances with full text search; we believe it to be an antipattern which escalates conflict and results in context collapse

if the instance is small and doesn't follow our users, it is probably beneath our concern

@Chronotope it is my understanding that patches exist in PR #2 and #3 here: https://github.com/VyrCossont/mastodon/pulls

see this previous discussion in glitch-soc (closed without merging) for more interested parties: https://github.com/glitch-soc/mastodon/pull/1502

and of course it has come up various other times in the past as well. i’m trying not to be too harsh on any specific instances for wanting this, while still setting a firm boundary desired by our users.

@effy the same way (insofar as we federate with them, which, for the most part we don’t)

obviously i’m not manually checking the source code for every single instance we interact with, but this is a good baseline rule for any instance which is receiving a large number of our posts, and something to fall back on if we ever encounter any problems

critics praised every part of the movie except for what it had to say, they didn't like that part at all

it does require semi‐decent lighting though lol
