@TJ_dacks NNo its a little easier.. just go direct to the users profile from inside QOTO.. click follow, you will knnow by how the button reacts if your blocked.
Sadly i know it should be more straight forward but sadly servers try to make it not obvious if your are blocked it seems, i guess for privacy or something.
Good riddance! I probably would have done the same.
I own a company about to go public, if your looking happy to talk and see if there is a fit there or not.
This will be a day for the pages of history. #Twitter
High intensity drama is coming.
@lucifargundam The only problem is even if the price soars at a 1000% increase you still wont make any money!
Its not the user who blocked us, its the entire instance. It is the admin of the instance that is a she.
@mrk3nz You can use free tools like keybase or keyoxide (see my profile) to accomplish something similar though.
@mrk3nz You cant. the blue check marks you see are just a joke and anyone can add them.
@mrk3nz me and the community are always happy to help if your stuck.
didnt he just do a bunch of layoffs? Seems like kinda a dick move to layoff a bunch of people then expect everyone left to start working overtime... Is he at least paying you time and a half for the overtime?
A friend of mine was actually his business partner in hyperloop and my friend (a venture capitalist) put up a lot of the money... needless to say Musk screwed over my friend. So I dont have the highest opinion of the guy.
Yes that user blocks our instance, sorry. I used to follower her and know her well, sadly I remember her blocking our instance because we allow conservatives on our instances (despite our no hate speech rules).
@lucifargundam Its quite cheap right now tyoo at $0 a share :)
It looks like another surge of twitter users might be on the way... One user just mentioned some drama over at twitter with musk locking out employees. I looked at the users bot (see attached quote) and youll notice a distinctive spike starting to form off to the right... here we go
@brandonb_phy by the looks of this the surge is already starting to trend (notice the peak forming to the right):

@brandonb_phy Oh whats happening? Should I expect another exodus?
The user or instance may also block you or our instance. If you indicate who the user is I may be able to tell you if thats the case.
@jeffjarvis Please no The last thing I want to see if the sort of misinformation the for-profit media tends to bring, that shit is toxic... But hey maybe a nice non-profit like C-span might be nice.
If they did that it would make it harder for them to make up all these lies though... cant have that.
@neurolili As long as you keep a rather modest search history it can be pretty affordable. Most instances clear history older than a few months.
If you want to keep costs to a minimum then consider running pleorma rather than mastodon. It is fairly ok with features and is far more light weight. You can run it much cheaper for the same level of activity.
@werner58 In retrosepct I should have known.. it did seem a bit off.
