@darius we need to import the self-awareness of the fact that we're jangling keys in front of our own faces with this modern "AI" thing. At least when I'm 4 hours deep into a candy crush knockoff, I know where the foolishness lies

@Gargron @leechgeek Can I hijack the drama conversation to say... The idea of hiding profiles for people who aren't logged in, might not be such a bad addition? If I ever served a Mastodon instance exclusively for a small friends group, I might really like that feature.

But I also think the ability to lock down a profile and its posts (a la Twitter) might be good for harassment targets too... Just a thought

@Gargron Is there any historical info to your side of the story? All the pro-CoSo stuff I've seen just links to that page uncritically.

And even if I believe the story, "one guy who moderates 2(?) instances disagreed with me, so I defederated from all of them," seems excessive.

You do just operate 2 instances and getmastodon.com, right?

@chiclet

@darius @eloquence sounds sufficient to me TBH.

Should such a feature be implemented, anyway.

Everybody's talking about Megalodon

Nobody's talking about #Pinafore

(You do just operate 2 instances and getmastodon.com, right? A micro minority of the thousands out there.)

@chiclet

@feditips if I want to create a list that stays outside my primary timeline (like "news"), how would I do this?

Is there a way to filter just to view toots from people not in a list?

@feditips
Next I need to know which Mastodon instances aren't overloaded -- please send help

@dansup @pixelfed

Hey there, my #PixelFed account @axolotl@pixelfed.social was terminated without warning a while ago. How do I get it back?

Looks like the DDoS attackers forgot to take down every other Mastodon instance... I didn't even know this until somebody else mentioned it.

@dansup how do I go about getting my #PixelFed account @axolotl@pixelfed.social unbanned? Is there an appeals process? A reason??
