rating boost counts on masto:
0 boosts - these posts are the backbone of fedi, braver than any us marine
1-3 boosts - ideal number of boosts, sharing stuff w/ ur friends
4-10 boosts - your post got a lil attention! nice job!
10-20 boosts - wow it's really making the rounds. good in moderation
30-60 boosts - they're still boosting that huh. hope they stop soon
60-120 boots - too many boosts, i want off of mr bone's wild ride
120+ boosts - uh oh. oh no. no thank you
It is kind of gross that I only see about 30 boosts on a science server that blocks pretty much no one.
Which means a free speech server, in which most of its members have a PhD or are working on one, and is not responsible for hate speech as a rule, is being blocked by maybe 4/5ths of fedi.
Something is sadly broken with the fediverse, or human psychology. :/
@jmw150 which server is that?
qoto.org
QOTO: Question Others to Teach Ourselves. A STEM-oriented instance. An inclusive free speech instance. All cultures and opinions welcome. Explicit hate speech and harassment strictly forbidden. We federate with all servers: we don't block any servers.
@jmw150 @2ck from what I recall, the admin has only blocked 2 servers for deliberately attacking qoto-specific users. Generally speaking, any and all 'bad and/or malicious content' is readily viewable and accessible. That's basically it- don't attack qoto users and your server doesn't get blocked.
