@AvengingFemme I actually can see the images, so thanks!

I'd be interested to understand why qoto has been defederated. As far as I can tell, it's because of loudly refusing to defederate instances where abusive people reside and people not liking how the admin roles. But I'm pretty new to the Fediverse.

I'm likely to self host to hopefully control my own federation destiny. But Ariadny's point resonates with my experience. I picked an instance based on cursory information and find myself cut off from parts of the Fediverse. It's very possible for this to happen to people and they don't even know!
