To be fair the only way guppe would boost a post that is private is if you explicitly tag it (in which case you are asking it to boost it). It also wont boost the whole thread, only the specific message that tagged guppe asking to be boosted.
With that said, I do understand those concerns and as will said it was an experimental project with limited features. As he points out the https://groups.qoto.org project does, indeed, address all those concerns. It is based off the mastodon code base and as such honors privacy to the same extent and in the same ways the base mastodon project does. It is just modified to make "users" into "group agents" instead.
@freemo @datatitian Is the qoto groups project open source? My main instance, and 3 other instances where I have alts, have all blocked qoto.org. I think the "don't federate with anyone who federates with gab" corner of the fediverse could benefit from having a groups server with compatible instance-level moderation, but the "source code" link on the groups.qoto.org about page doesn't seem to go to an active project.
That is a mistake, it is open source. I am lying down to bed right now but tomorrow ill take a look and see why the link is broken and get you the correct one.
BTW QOTO no longer federates with GAB, gab stopped openly federating some time back.
@freemo Awesome, thank you!
