OMG. Thanks for posting. I run a Mastodon server as well and, oh my, the Mastodon Developers would never have been willing to help me. A wild tale. Glad the fix ended up in the next release. Thanks for posting!

You are not logged in. If you use a Fediverse account that is able to follow users, you can follow this user.
2·1 year ago@SamXavia I think your friend is a looney conspiracy theorist
Mine won’t nor will any of my other 3 Fediverse servers.
I know of a number of Mastodon servers that have already de-federated or limited threads.net, even though it does not yet connect to the Fediverse. Some are even limiting or suspending connections to servers that refuse to de-federate from threads.net and are trying to pressure other servers to do the same.
An Admin has no right to force their personal agendas onto all the people who are on their servers. People are competent enough to make their own decisions and can individually decide to block or limit Threads. I block servers on my server to protect members from hateful people.
I will limit threads.net if their moderation is inadequate, just as I do now for a number of Mastodon servers that don’t do much to keep hatred and offensive content off their servers. This won’t prevent anyone from following someone or being followed by someone, on threads.net. It just means that people on my server need to approve being followed and that posts from threads.net won’t show up in the public timeline.
At this point, I haven’t heard of any Kbin instances planning to de-federate but there’s a ton of yacking about it on Mastodon. I finally muted the “threads” hashtag to get some peace from it.
@stackPeek You are currently on kbin.social so I assume kbin.social has been suspended (a.k.a. de-federated or blocked) from that server. On Mastodon, “Suspended” means totally blocked. You cannot follow anyone, they cannot follow you. All communication, including API requests, are blocked.
A Mastodon instance blocking kbin.social, is, to me, irrational behavior by the Admin and an extreme disservice to those on the server.
Can you share the name of the Mastodon instance?
2·1 year agoI agree with all that you’ve said
- Before joining an instance you can go to their /terms page and see if they will tolerate you because you’re just making stuff up and your ignorance will hurt and endanger people. Most KBIN and Lemmy servers will, fortunately, not willingly host you because of this.
- I won’t tolerate you, so don’t join my instance. So, 1 down.
So far, I’m liking it. There was a long article about zoning board business in my town. It gave me a beautiful summary. I asked for more specifics about one item, and it gave it to me. I’ve only had it installed for 15 minutes, and so far, I’m liking it!
