How would you guys feel if I hosted a version of tusky that was an exact fork of tusky, follows the upstream, but eliminates all interna app blocks of instances. Would you guys support that initiative? I could even put the fork in the google play store.
@freemo Can you see which instances are blocked? And how do they do it?
@mundauf Yup its defined here in the source. Trivial to edit:
@freemo Thank you. So, it's just gab then or do I miss something? I wonder if it's common with admins of instances to share other block recommendations blocking whole instances in blockchain. Is this a thing?
@mundauf Also blockchain isnt related to mastodon. Thats a different tech.
@freemo I meant like an actually chain of blocks. Not the blockchain technology. Sorry. English is not my native language and in german it's common to pull together words like this together. 🙂
So. As I understand it correctly, gab was not part of Mastodon until then or is the fediverse another structure inside of Mastodon? Thank you.
@freemo Do you know of other apps for Mastodon which hard block instances?
@mundauf Gab is still not part of the fediverse, but they will be soon (july officially).
The fediverse is a name for all the servers which use One of a set of protocols, most notably ActivityPub. This protocol let the servers talk to each other (this allows you to follow and reply to people from other servers).
Mastodon is one piee of software (the one we run here on QOTO) which implements ActivityPub.
