No sorry that wont help... You loose quite a few followers when you migrate away to a lot of servers. It has to do with the fact that QOTO has an exceptionally large federation footprint that few other servers share. So often users expiernce a big loss when they move.

Sooo... people with diseases or other increased risk-factor for an early death are more like to vote republican?
@collin I've been writing one on and off for years... I love them!
@Amikke yea im starting to lean towards silences until I find a better solution.
@LouisIngenthron Awesome, good job man.
Understood, but my point stands: you are both more invested in this and have a thicker skin than myself; I trust you to weigh the alternatives and do what you believe is right. Anyone who doesn't (myself included) - well, they have lots of other options. I figure if you reach instance-blocking mode, they probably deserve it.
@Biggles I appreciate that, thank you.
If you upload the same image twice the back-end should be smart enough to know they are the same. But I dont know of any way currently to reuse an image in a post without reuploading.
@Biggles Its a bit more complicated than that. When you block instances it also can cause broken threads that really annoy people because if a "good" domain user replies to a "bad" domain user thread the thread is still broken. For this reason many people prefer not to block at all.

Yea, ill link ya when i get a chance. Happy to pay for serious contributions
Sadly no.. i have to build it out myself, or find someone I can pay to build it out.
I am biased like anyone else. The difference i went out to these events to get an accurate picture, i doubt you have.
Well the number of trolling hate based instances has just got too overwhelming for #QOTO to rely entierly on its users to suspend at this point. That said i dont want to force blocks on our user.
I am prioritizing sone sort of opt-out block system where we as admins can do server wide blocks but users can still opt out...
No your picture of 4 is more typical. My objection to your choice was more the blackface one in the middle which is atypical
@thatguyoverthere however you dice it your still talki g out of your ass from a place of bias and ignirance.
