       I notice that in the past I created another #account on @frayoshi which I would like to move to this one.One #problem: the other account is like 20 minutes newer than this and more over, I'm not actually "moving from" that one, but want just to redirect like if I was moving from there.. Not sure if this is the correct procedure.. I was going to delete it, but then I read that the account handle will no longer be usable and I want to keep my doors open :blob3c:

       @frayoshi @frayoshi Usually I'd say 'use the move feature' since that can be undone easily. But I see that mograph.social seems to be blocking qoto.org, so that won't work.Best you can do is just put in your profile description that you're active on qoto.org.

       @frayoshi Some instances block other instances if the other instances federate with yet other instances that would break their rules.It doesn't make much sense because anything we would boost from the rule-breakers wouldn't reach them anyway because they get blocked.But I see in their blocking reason references to kiwifarms and gab, but they have not been federating in the Fediverse for a while now, so it's an ancient relic from the past.

       I can’t believe it @trinsec @freemo , got blocked by the admin of mograph.social for kindly asking to unblock #qoto, definitely a nasty place :ablobnervous: Just sad for those people I wanted to follow that are in there, 1 in particular which is important to me :blob_cry:

       @frayoshiIt takes a special level of toxicity to block someone for politely approaching you and trying to mend fences and address concerns… What are ya gonna do though, my letter to them could not have been more respectful. The way I see when an instance is this level of toxicity its probably best they blocked you.@trinsec

       @frayoshi Not much that can be done about it I’m afraid. There are a lot of small instances like that unfortunately. :(If you want to be able to follow the posts of those few, you can still subscribe to them (but they won’t be able to see your comments).I’m afraid you’ll have to discuss with your buddies what to do if you want to be able to interact with them. Maybe one of you two move, maybe both move. I wish you good luck in trying to reconnect with them!@freemo

       @emma Usually the toxicity/rudeness of an instances admin is directly proportional to the size of their block list. Not even surprised.Sadly from a technical standpoint there are huge issues with single user instances, particularly at scale.@trinsec @frayoshi

       @frayoshi @trinsec @freemo - stange - the twitter-mastodon retweeter at https://crossposter.masto.donte.com.br/ has qoto.org on a block list too - i asked the admin why, but got no reply - very odd.

       @freemo @frayoshi @trinsec thanks. mine seem slightly delayed at the moment (cross-posted both ways approx 10 mins ago). will it continue cross-posting in the background if one ‘logs out’ of moa.party, or do i need to be permanently logged into it (using  oauth via twitter+qoto logins)?

       @freemo @frayoshi @trinsec thanks. i clicked the ‘log out’ button at foot of page, (after changing a couple of configs to use the #xp ). maybe i shouldn’t have done that. i’ll try again later without logging out.

       @freemo @frayoshi @trinsec - and now my cross-posting to twitter from mastadon qoto.org  has appeared on twitter. so took approx 25 mins on this occasion (& seems one can safely ‘log out’ of moa.party & it does continue cross-posting in the background (as expected)) :)

       @frayoshi @trinsec @freemo  I looked at the mograph blocklist and see that QOTO is off-limits because it federates with sites that mograph doesn’t like. Do you know why that matters to them? Are they concerned that discussions involving mograph users would be visible to those other sites?

       @DecaturNatureIts either a lack of understanding or intentional misinformation. But its a common trope.Basically many instances are under the false misconception that if they block a server, and a server they dontn block boosts content from it, then it can be seen by their server (or vice versa)…The reality is that is false (we have tested it a few times and verified it is untrue)… you can only see a boosted post if you can see the original post. This is clear because boosting doesnt replicate the content, it just links it. Plus like i said we tested it.@frayoshi @trinsec

       @freemo Actually, I’ve seen there’s a mindset going that if you give a platform to nazis, that you’re enabling them. Basically the ‘if you are not against them, then you are for them’.Either you block nazis, or you are a nazi. It’s a quite black and white worldview for them.@DecaturNature @frayoshi

       @trinsec @freemo @DecaturNature @frayoshi It's rumored that Nazis invented the microwave.If everyone uses microwaves, are they supporting Nazis?Such logic is beyond my ability to rationalize the justification.

       @trinsec @freemo @DecaturNature @frayoshi I mean, you can’t block all the Nazis. It’s impossible. But I have faith you’d actually block kiwi etc if they existed.

       @freemo @trinsec @DecaturNature @frayoshi I mean. There’s nothing redeemable about them. They’ve caused widespread violence against trans people. Proven violence. Federating with that kind of instance makes no sense of we are supposed to be protecting LGBTQ+.

       @War_KittensWe did federate with them when they existed, but it was at the explicit request of our LGBTQ community and for their safety, it is important to know why.Many of the LGBTQ were monitoring accounts there for the purpose of warning their community of calls to violence and doxxing. Other options (like signing up directly on the server) for them would have put them at more risk so they were here with the purpose of safely monitoring while keeping their ip and other information private.In fact the subscription feature we now have was specifically added to their server for their benefit, so they could follow those accounts without being identified as a follower, further protecting them.It was discussed on multiple occasions if we could find some alternative and potentially block the servers but for many reasons discussed we decided it was best to keep federation. In the end being able to see bad-actors, and therefore be informed was a far better choice than being blind to their violence and crippling the victims in some vain attempt to spite the bad actors.@trinsec @DecaturNature @frayoshi

       @freemo @trinsec @DecaturNature @frayoshi :blobcatthinking: That’s a very fair reason. It’s a shame no one will understand that. It’s a bigger shame there’s no other way to monitor on Mastodon other than join or federate.

       @War_KittensIts not that there are no other ways, its more so that the other alternatives all put people at risk or inconvience the victims without much benefit.For example they could use the builtin RSS feeds, problem is many accounts that are masto based dont have them, and this would also expose their IP addresses… They could also use a VPN but if they forgot to use a VPN even once then again, they are at risk… also none of these methods give access to follower only toots.In the end there are lots of alternatives but all of them inconvenience or harm the victim and really server no purpose.@trinsec @DecaturNature @frayoshi

       @frayoshi @emma @freemo @bolapara @trinsec this please - I'm trying to even understand the point of a single user instance. Control?

       @Biggles No one can ban you if you run your own server. No one can force you to adhere to their instance wide block list if you are in charge..The downside is you have no foice as no one federates with you and your federation footprint is dictated by your size as an instance.@frayoshi @emma @bolapara @trinsec

       @trinsec @frayoshi @freemo @emma @bolaparaBut - they can ban your server, no? I honestly don't see any difference between "I got banned" and "my single user server got banned". People are weird.

       @Biggles Yes, but there is a difference.If your instance admin bans you you loose all your post history, cant transfer to anotther instance and, at least under your old identity, are blocked from ALL servers and all your followers.On a single user instance when someone or a group of instances block you thenn only those instances block you. You can always just migrate and get a fresh start (perhaps even to a new single user instance) or stay where you are and be blocked only by a subset of the fediverse and continue to operate.@trinsec @frayoshi @emma @bolapara

       @emma @freemo @bolapara @frayoshi @trinsecHmm. Ok, makes sense. Control. Easier to try to be a decent person, but to each his own. :-)

       @Biggles Being a decent person on a tolerant instance is the best solution, yea... probem is there are so many toxic instances you can be a decent person and still loose it all. so pick your instance carefully :)@emma @bolapara @frayoshi @trinsec

       @frayoshi @freemo I'm not complaining - mostly because nothing to complain about, but also because I know what an enormous time/money/energy sink running this instance can be, especially with the refugee influx. Extra unpaid part-time job at best. In case you haven't heard it today, thank you.

       @Biggles@qoto.org @freemo@qoto.org @bolapara@qoto.org @frayoshi@qoto.org @trinsec@qoto.org the person that made this thread literally just got banned off an instance for asking a harmless question about moderation. were they not being a "decent person"? on my own instance if i get blocked i simply move on with my life but this person is going to have to start over somewhere else when they didn't even do anything wrong.

       @Biggles Honestly most of that is a nonissue for me. The new people are all a complete joy, serious, we havent had tto ban not one bad actor yet, its extraordinary! the costs are not even noticeable for me (I am very lucky). The only issue tht ever crops up is the toxicity of a few nasty instances... some faux good guys who throw around the nazi label, and some legit bad actors who are wanna be nazis, swastika and all... Luckily the toxic instances are a minority here on the fediverse, but as the admin I deal with them constantly and it is draining.@frayoshi

       @emma I think you misread the tread... no one was saying the original poster wasnt being a decent person. we were discussing the merits of a single use instance and why people who arent decent people might gravitate towards one.@trinsec @Biggles @bolapara @frayoshi

       @freemo@qoto.org @trinsec@qoto.org @Biggles@qoto.org @bolapara@qoto.org @frayoshi@qoto.org yea i got that, i just don't think it's reasonable to say that if you are decent you don't benefit from being on your own instance. i mean your instance gets blocked just for federating with other instances so im sure you understand that every person's idea of decent varies

       @emma Of course, I dont think anyone was saying that all people on single user instances are decent people... at least I wasnt.
