@freemo Hi, I am new to Fediverse but interested in qoto. As I am using Gab at the moment, is there any advantage in having a qoto account as well? Thanks.

@angelobottone well I guess it depends on what interests you. I think the main advantage is that Gab.com is blocked by many instances in the fediverse so your voice wont carry as far. At QOTO there are very few instances that block us and we dont block other instances. So generally you are more likely to be heard from this server than you would be from a gab server.

In short the main advantages would be around federation and administration styles.

@freemo @angelobottone The main advantage is that non-Gab instances actually function correctly because their admins didn't break the basic functions of the software trying to fix things that weren't broken.
@Ricotta @freemo @angelobottone Is there any way to determine which instance is the least-blocked from among a set of instances?

@drump
Not easily. I test it by having accounts on servers throughout the fediverse and seeing if they can talk to this server. It can be done with bots if you want to automate it. But nothing public.

@angelobottone @Ricotta

@drump @angelobottone @freemo If it's an instance I don't have an account on and/or doesn't interact with FSE or Smug on a regular basis it's probably one of the least blocked.
@TheMadPirate @angelobottone @drump @freemo Not necessarily. Pleroma has the option to respect or not respect instance blocks in the config. I'm not sure but I think it defaults to fuck the police.
@GhostOfMoshe @PepeMemes @Ricotta @TheMadPirate @angelobottone @drump @freemo this was one of my all time fav posts, literal pain from laughing too hard when it scrolled into view

@GhostOfMoshe @PepeMemes @Ricotta @TheMadPirate @angelobottone @drump @freemo @loli i have to assume theyve no sense of smell, they'd notice where their nose is. why did they do this, i never understood it

@TheMadPirate Not always. Depends on a few factors like if the ban is mutual and if the person requires approval to be followed.
