i hope we get to 42.0%
@FediPact I would like to be taken off this list for now. I've had a change of heart and have decided to not block threads immediately.
Thanks.
@sentient_water @FediPact I wonder if we're going to end up on the 52/48 cursed percentile?
Because that's definitely going to tell me something.
@FediPact
What the difference between blocked and limited?
@arthunter @FediPact
"Limited" or "silenced" means the instance is muted, but users can still follow accounts on it, and it remains federated
@ophiocephalic @arthunter @FediPact I think having threads limited is better. We have good and funny folks there whom we could follow while having others muted.
@arthunter@mastodon.world @FediPact@tech.lgbt If a server is limited (aka "silenced" in older versions of Mastodon and other Fediverse software), posts from it do not appear in federated timelines. Users on the limited instance can only DM users who are following them or send follow requests. It effectively makes any communication with the limited instance require consent from local users.
@arthunter @FediPact iirc, blocked = no interaction at all, limited = only people who follow each other may interact
@FediPact only reason i havent is because no ones saying how.
Also arent they not even actually on activitypub (yet)?
@xorowl @FediPact you need to be the admin of your instance. if you are, just websearch something like "how to defederate on mastodon".
also they have, i believe, added something called "one-way federation", meaning they basically get to spam the shit out of every instance that hasn't defederated them, but we can't do anything back.
@FediPact @cadusilva That’s a good thing. I hesitate to block them from my instance. I am alone (with personal bots) and manually approve follows. Not sure it’ll change anything ?
@FediPact it's the 59th most blocked instance! :3
@FediPact I want to see the number of users that are on an instance that has it blocked/federated/etc, that would be more interesting
@FediPact oh, right above in the thread
@lunacb there's something like that if you follow the source link and scroll up
@FediPact oh I so hope this goes through. Trying to get @endeavorance on board as he's the one running my instance. Screw meta and these big companies. They're why we ran from them to the fediverse. They wasted their time to fix this stuff for years and ran out of chances imo.
@FediPact warms your heart to see it. Now let's get those numbers up even MORE
@FediPact how many users among those instances?
@FediPact@tech.lgbt
I'm doing my part!
@FediPact I bet the actual number's higher too. Most instances that are setup to be private enough for people not to be able to get this data from are likely to be blocking facebook too I reckon?
