So I reached out to admins of the few instances that block us with a polite email explaining some of the misinformation spread about us in the pastt and describing the situation in some detail in the hopes it will be resolved.
Luckily nearly all the instances are very small and its not a big deal since our federation footprint remains one of the largest int he fediverse, but I felt it was an effort worth making.
Anyway, seems the drama is already begining and even more flat out lies are getting thrown around be a few:

Luckily despite a few bad actors most of the people I contacted reached out to me in good faith and several seem to be willing to reverse the ban. Lets hope the people who actually bother to fact-check win out on this one.
@freemo Why would instances block us? What's there reasoning?
@ner What-a-ya gonna do.
@freemo Smile, and tell them to have a good day. Everybody's got stuff going on.
@freemo Everyone seems quite friendly as far as what I'm finding. Only the uncool fear science, questions, and good conversation right?
