@kmic Facts. I must say in almost anywhere int he world the resteraunt service (in terms of attentiveness and promptness) is always miles behind the USA.
I get that.
I think an optimal solution is just to have an open forum on #Lemmy or something. Let peeps suggest instances to block, with reasons why, and let others vote on them accordingly.
I like that #UFOI forces evidence to be shared before an instances is included in the list, that alone makes it far better than #fediblock
I also spoke with @freemo regarding it for a peice I’m writing about it, the plan is for it to also serve as a framework so that anyone can create their own “federation” if that makes sense. The #UFOI isn’t intended to be a one stop shop for everyone to use to determine who to block.
thats because QOTO had hashtag following feature years before vanilla mastodon. So we do it a bit differently (and with some extra features).. to follow hashtags its in your account preferences.
I think I know what might be causing this... if you want to use it seriously, and of you, I can put some time into fixing it.
@victorgijsbers That is probably the case. Have you deciphered the rest? I've got a good idea what it all means but looks like you probably got the answer somewhere already.
@victorgijsbers If it is helped "Wonder en is gheen wonder" is the name of a dutch magazine for skeptics..
Good luck finding a vote that isnt extreme these days. The irony is that the few moderates that exist are now seen as the extremist by the actual extremists.
@mmeadway I agree, so am I. Just seems to be a quality that is in equal measure between the GOP and DNC is all.
@mmeadway Shame the GOP and the DNC hate eachother, they sound almost indistinguishable the way you describe them.
yea 100 - 150 users a week is very respectable.. but before we were delisted the numbers were much higher.
Well the numbers are a bit confusing if you look at our user bot because we just spent the last few days deleting a ton of old accounts that look like spam, so it skewed the numbers.
But as of December 24th (which I know that week we didnt do any pruning so the numbers should be complete), at that time we were getting 152 new users per week.
@stavvers How is santa pro-capitalism. He forces hosts of elves to work slave labor, for free, and redistributes the wealth they create to others... Sounds like communism to me.

@mandaroza see here for a bit of the history and me talki g about this
**all** servers are blocked by others.. there is nothing to let people know. QOTO is one of the more connected servers in the fediverse. The servers that block us, as said, are usually already highly isolated from the network.
