@freemo, is there perhaps something about the scholar.social server that prevents the #qoto server from reading it? Can't seem to reach people there.

@albertcardona I am well familiar witht he scholar instance and the reason, it happened years ago. Its a long story but it goes like this...In the day when everyone was up in arms about if servers should block other "bad instances" or not there was a divide.the LGBT community, or at least a large chunk of it, migrated over here to us. The reason being they wanted to be able to see bad instances so they can monitor bad actors for safety reasons. We even added a special feature to make that easier called subscribe.The owner of the instance was furious and tried to frame it like we were nazis for allowing people from our server to see bad actors, and they blocked us. They lost a large portion of their userbase during the whole fiasco to us and he never forgave us since.

@freemo Oh my. Thank you for taking the time to share this piece of history. And thank you for generously hosting us all and maintaining such a good, supportive, constructive environment. It is not easy and it is very appreciated.

@freemo @albertcardona the subscribe feature and the markdown are potentially very useful for the community at large. I assume they never made it upstream for ideological reasons? Are they documented? I'd love to add them to the instance I maintain.
