@aut@sideslip.social @nova Yeah, I think certain folks (notably the mastodon.technology admins) didn't like that qoto doesn't usually do full instance bans, particularly for certain reasons, and banned qoto for that reason, not because it actually affects any of the servers who refuse to federate with them.
It's not like federating with qoto brings in posts from other instances they federate with, especially not ones that are actually banned.
As they said, if you block an instance and someone from another instance shares from that instance, then you cant see that boost anyway. So the argument has always been moot and self defeating.
Moreover, any "bad content" wouldnt get shared in the first place since our instance is made up of good actors who dont promote content that is contrary to that.
@freemo But also the source server won't send the contents to you, so you won't get it automatically in your timeline by any means, right? @pganssle @aut@sideslip.social @nova
