* When you discover your Instance is blocked. *

After creating a new blog post, I prepare text for announcing it. This is posted at my main instance, and later I visit other accounts, search for that Status URL, and boost it from there.

In one case, I could not find the status on that normal search. Odd. What is going on?

A search for my user profile at Qoto did not bring ANY results either. It dawned on me that something was amiss...

@design_RG Right now i can see posts user's pages from mastodon.technology, they unblocked us?
Or bans over here work only in one side?

But, anyways, i personally think that really "free speach servers" should federate with everything, making it so only user decice what he wants to see. So, i hope qoto will continue to be a free server without stupid rules and bans.

@bukbak Yes, we can see their posts it seems -- I just read some posts from a thread that Paul started there and linked above - mastodon.technology/@pganssle/

...which shows in my search here no problems.

And liked the reply Wolfie posted on it.

Snapshot below. I am still start and going thru the thread, looks like material for another, follow-up to my blog of today. 😃

@bukbak And it seems we have reached the end of discussions on this issue.

We had some correspondence, back and forth, the first of which is the letter I included in full at my Blog post mentioned in the OP above.

Received a courteous reply from Mr. Furrow, followed up today with another letter explaining some internal discussions.

Received just now a reply from him, stating we are at an impasse and requesting that I do not contact him again.

Seems I will have to delete one of my accounts, a first for me. Surprisingly, but fair.

I might, or might not, create a second blog post about this, but have nicer, more positive things to think of and act upon, so maybe just let it be.

Adieu, mastodon.technology.
