What's happening in Fediverse?
@angelobottone I need to know what so I can answer why.
There's always things happening, we cross paths and discover new people, new places or new and surprising things.
Like that a large instance decides to block another one, which thematically is not far off their own line. Simply because the second instance (us, qoto) is not blocking a third party which they refuse to federate with.
Drama, oh yeah. 😉
So, said goodbye to mastodon.technology, who I will no longer visit.

@design_RG @angelobottone that's surprising! What is it with instances blocking each other? I believe that users should make their own decisions and block whoever/whatever they want to block.

I wrote a blog post detailing the story, up to the point of me sending the first letter, which is included in full on the post. Here : https://write.tedomum.net/rgx/when-you-discover-your-instance-is-blocked
I agree with you, that unless we have a problem and that cannot be solved, we shouldn't be blocking other instances willy nilly.
The admin of M.T. wanted us to block Gab if we wanted him to lift his unilateral block on our instance.
