Nice to see all the chatter around #QOTO on #Fediblock gave us a nice surge of new users.

These people really need to realize they are doing us a favor. The ones who start trouble do us the courtesy of isolating themselves from the network by blocking well-behaving instances AND actually advertise our instance all in the same breath.

On top of that our insularity and number of servers we federate still remains among the highest in the fediverse too!

We as a server try to do what is **right** and don't cave to peer pressure. It sometimes gets us into some trouble, there are some people who take it very personally when they realize they don't have power over another. But in the end most people see past it. While I am dismayed at the way a small minority acted yesterday I am refreshed by the results.

As far as I can tell far more people joined our server than the number of people who even engaged in the thread in the first place. Thats a win as far as I'm concerned.
