@freemo Hang in there. It will get better. When a ton of new people show up, there's going to be some growing pains, some miscommunication, and a few genuinely bad actors.
@freemo Grrf. It doesn't seem very decentralized if that one list is so crucial.
I know far less than you about how these things work, but perhaps some things will change over the next week.
@peterdrake Its pretty much our source of 99% of new users.. so effectively it means growth for our server has come to an end.
@freemo @peterdrake
Qoto will still function and the ability to grow will still be there - the mainstream way new Fedi users have found Qoto is down. So, it's still decentralized, Qoto just lost it's primary advertisement (effectively, not literally) spot.
@peterdrake Well we are off joinmastodon with no indiciation that will change... so QOTO is dead at this point, no new people to be expected.
