I notice that in the past I created another #account on @frayoshi@mograph.social which I would like to move to this one.

One #problem: the other account is like 20 minutes newer than this and more over, I'm not actually "moving from" that one, but want just to redirect like if I was moving from there.. Not sure if this is the correct procedure.. I was going to delete it, but then I read that the account handle will no longer be usable and I want to keep my doors open

@frayoshi @frayoshi@mograph.social

Usually I'd say 'use the move feature' since that can be undone easily. But I see that mograph.social seems to be blocking qoto.org, so that won't work.

Best you can do is just put in your profile description that you're active on qoto.org.

oh... that's sad @trinsec ! I wonder why
Great advice, didn't think about it!!

@frayoshi Some instances block other instances if the other instances federate with yet other instances that would break their rules.

It doesn't make much sense because anything we would boost from the rule-breakers wouldn't reach them anyway because they get blocked.

But I see in their blocking reason references to kiwifarms and gab, but they have not been federating in the Fediverse for a while now, so it's an ancient relic from the past.

I tried @trinsec …

“not gonna discuss this here for the n-th time. We’re not federating with qoto, full stop.”

I can’t believe it @trinsec @freemo , got blocked by the admin of mograph.social for kindly asking to unblock #qoto, definitely a nasty place
Just sad for those people I wanted to follow that are in there, 1 in particular which is important to me

@frayoshi @trinsec @freemo I looked at the mograph blocklist and see that QOTO is off-limits because it federates with sites that mograph doesn’t like. Do you know why that matters to them? Are they concerned that discussions involving mograph users would be visible to those other sites?

@DecaturNature

Its either a lack of understanding or intentional misinformation. But its a common trope.

Basically many instances are under the false misconception that if they block a server, and a server they dontn block boosts content from it, then it can be seen by their server (or vice versa)…

The reality is that is false (we have tested it a few times and verified it is untrue)… you can only see a boosted post if you can see the original post. This is clear because boosting doesnt replicate the content, it just links it. Plus like i said we tested it.
