The group of people who are trying to divide the fediverse seem to have reached a new low.. They have a tool that lists how many instances block a particular instance, but it is highly manipulative.
For starters it is hand curated.. so they exclude blocks against their own instances and only includes instances they actually dislike.
Worse yet they curate a list ordered by "most blocked".. problem is they use the number of instances that block. They game the system by having large number of single-user instances. So instances in the top 50 may only be blocked by a few hundred people but still appear as if the blocks are significant....
This is why we need transparency, its why we need the https://UFoI.org
Its also important to note we are **not** in the 50 most blocked instances. The list she is refering to counts it based on the number of instances that block us. 99% of instances that block us are single-user instances.. They gamed the system to make it look like we are more blocked than we actually are.

I came across a math puzzle here in the fediverse, and puzzled about it for a while. (Lost the link to the original post; if it's yours let me know.)
Here's the problem:
```
Bob was given 30 distinct natural numbers. He wrote down all the 435 pairwise sums. It appears that among those sums, 230 are divisible by 3. How many of the original 30 numbers are divisible by 3?
```
I was able to find the answer after playing with it for a bit. Then I made this cool visualization. (It's a spoiler, of course.)
That instance blocks almost the tentire fediverse.. even instances it doesnt block are likely to be blocked soon (I think they are moving to whitelist blocking)
@mur2501 No, I dont see that... hmmm
@mur2501 hmm working for me....

I'm delighted by all the goodies and benefits I happened into on mine here at qoto. The starting text block is at 64K, which is huge in comparison to most, for example. The description page at https://qoto.org/about/more will give you a rundown, and I think you'll be pleased and surprised by the list of features.
Despite the recent enormous surge in activity and memberships, the server is still speedy (as is the administration). I've had zero trouble with any unpleasant characters lurking about. The management is pro-active in handling issues quickly. The underlying reason for its existence is as a science and science education instance, so there are many intelligent and well-spoken folks about.
Even though there are now over 25,000 users, the admin is reachable and responsive.
Hope you check us out!
@mur2501 thats very strange. As far as i know your the only one seeing that...
@imdef let me see if there is a quick way to turn it off temporarily.
@imdef it will be fixed in the next few weeks but I could turn it off til then.
@trinsec this is a pretty rare event.. its a shame they all died, but its not like this is the norm.
@JonKramer I can see that
