@valerauko Mostly global/federated, because I'm new to my instance and havent followed many people yet. I do use local tl almost as much though.

@Synclair I don't know how you think you will be taken seriously when you unironically use wojaks and memes from 2016.

@mastodonusercount I wonder what's with the ups-and-downs every other hour?

@Romaq @freemo I think your problem is using Norton products in the first place...

In regard to delisting of QOTO on joinmastodon.org: I'm not here to make a judgement on who is "in the right" here as I've been here for only around a week, and I can't know or verify the events that lead to this. However, Eugen's lack of communication and transparency about this is highly concerning - I think the least we deserve is a public statement on the delisting - arguably a responsibility of Eugen's, considering the outsized influence that the joinmastodon.org directory has over the Fediverse, and in particular Mastodon instances. I urge him to remember that the Fediverse is supposed to be decentralized - his actions right now suggest he is trying to move towards the opposite.@Gargron

@Gargron Re: joinmastodon.org instance directoryIn many ways I am uncomfortable with the concept of a single person having so much unchecked influence over what is supposedly a decentralized network. I suggest we look into alternative methods of listing instances that is not so centralized and dependent on one person, while still providing some guarantees about server policy. Not an easy task by any means, but I believe it might be necessary if the Fediverse is to become truly decentralized.What do you think? @freemo

@freemo @Gargron Yeah, that's true - IMO there really shouldn't be an "official" directory at all - that has the same smell of mastodon.social being considered the "official Mastodon instance". Again, not an easy problem to solve unfortunately.

@freemo @Gargron True. I suspect this is also an issue with people's mindset in many aspects, particularly the new users who are part of the Twitter migration due to them being used to single, centralized services. I've managed to avoid this due to not actually using Twitter or other centralized social media, despite hearing about Fedi from the surrounding drama. That obviously does not apply for the majority of people though.
