| I see "GNU/Mastodon" fly by most days. It's always a joke, tho I don't know that the authors mean it to be one. Yes, quitter.no seems to be a pleasant GNU Social spot. (Most) others AFAICT, absolutely not. Yes, of course any aggregation of 1000 people is going to have some difficult individuals, nevermind 300k (or whatever the total pop is these days). The point is, what is the aggregate experience, common expectations, etc? The bar is set depressingly low by the popular services many of us would prefer to move away from, but so far, Mastodon Is Good. Admins sharing federation blocks is what is _supposed_ to happen, and is the same sort of pattern that emerged for blocking mail delivery from previously-reported spammers. You want every instance's admin to vet every other instance, and make an Informed Decision? > CW was a bolt-on feature that was developed without any consideration for other fediverse servers and how they communicate using shared protocols, privacy isn't really private when you cross servers unless you trust both admins, there are tools for this The ostatus/fediverse protocols are a _mess_; substantially everything in there is bolted on. That Eugen and the other Mastodon devs did useful things on top of it is A-OK by me. |
