@admin

When I joined years ago it was easy. I picked a server at random. I chose the server from the rotating list that you see when you go to Mastodon. It was a server that immediately allowed you to post.

Just like with MMORPG {massive multiplayer online role-playing games}, I knew that I needed accounts on different servers.

So I created other accounts on other servers which had good up times from the beginning.

There was a rotating list you could choose from that you immediately saw, when you were first confronted with a FediVerse.

The default client never adviced you to join mastodon.social on the contrary

From my POV it's still easy. However that can differ for the casual user

@guyjantic

There is no one entity who does that {<dis>allowing}

The fact that mastodon.social changed "without warning* the **critical policy** of rotating suggested servers, is highly suspect of a corporate entity pulling strings {read USD / EUR payment}.

This is conjecture, it is not factual, I can't prove it.

The fact however that I'm bringing my mind to that level, means that trust has been broken in the mastodon.social server, which abused the official clients they code, to plug their server, negating the many smaller servers growth.

Mastodon.social has the same weight as any other Federated Server.

We should not have let it come so far. It's become a mammoth that needs to be brought back in line.

Complacency brought us to this level

Another critical section highlighted

Guarding our Federated Network is critical for the infrastructure.
The change is IMHO not just irresponsible, it's a deliberate concentration of users.

Luckily we can reverse the trend, if needed without the blessings of mastodon.social

#FediVerse #Mastodon #technology #programming #defederation #moderation #power #donations

I've just highlighted a critical portion of this post regarding the concentration of new users and the growth of the FediVerse in a federated manner in relationship to the reality where only one server grows, moderation suffers {user to mod ratio} and other servers regretfully shrink!

No one entity / server should be allowed to grow exponentially defeating the purpose of a Federated Network.

The main reason for this happening now is because the official Mastodon mobile apps and official Mastodon website now promote mastodon.social and sideline all other servers. They previously did not do this, and growth used to be spread out before they did this.

@konstruct That sounds like some terrible instances. However I prefer #defederation over throwing Molotov cocktails at datacenters. A DDOS might also not be a great idea. What could help is to figure out where those instances are hosted and notify the hoster about that Nazi content. Depending on where it is hosted one could also notify local authorities.

@earlgreyocean @George Thank you for investigating and sharing your findings, Mathew. It's the first I've heard of #defederation too.

I have moved my #photography account away from snepshots@photog.social ... you can now find me at:

Pixelfed: @snepshots

photog.social was no longer working for me due to excessive #defederation of other instances. I have tried to move my followers over to the new account, and that seems to have worked for most of them.

Some people might have been missed, though. And all followers from the defederated instances are lost (for now).

So if you have been following my snepshots photography account, but you somehow are no longer, please follow me again on #pixelfed

Well lets see

I hope I won't need this much.
That'd suck

But if its an instance configured to not #interact with others...

Nun... alles sehr unerfreulich, aber diese Instanz wird aufgrund der Entwicklungen der letzten Tage nun zum Ende des Monats geschlossen.

Ich kann damit einfach nicht umgehen, wenn mir der Rechtsstaat auf die Füße tritt und Dinge verlangt - ich kann nicht auf einen Anwalt zurück greifen, der mir dann solche Anfragen etc. überprüft und dann mit den Behörden kommuniziert.

Danke übrigens an dieser Stelle an die Person, die sich bemüssigt gefühlt hat, gegen User*innen meiner Instanz, die ich privat betreibe und in die ich viel Herzblut gesteckt habe, vorzugehen.

Dir gebührt ein besonderer Platz in meinem Herzen und in meine schlaflosen Nächte. :psyduck: /s

Alle User*innen sind informiert und ich hoffe, dass sie sich einen sicheren Hafen suchen können und werden.

Es tut mir definitiv in der Seele weh, dass es so weit kommen musste - aber so kann man eben auch eine Instanz deföderieren - besser als jeder FediBlock.

Danke an alle für Euer Vertrauen, für Eure Unterstützung und für die schöne Zeit hier.

Ich weiß nicht, was ich noch sagen kann.

Macht's gut und Danke für den Fisch.

¿Ustedes consideran la "defederación" hecha por los servidores una desición arbitraria que puede poner en riesgo la descentralización?
¿El usuario debe tener más control en esa desición?
#fediverse #mastodon #fediverso #debate #defederation #ask #opinion

When you think #Defederation is a new term, I know you've never talked to an email server admin ;)

When someone says "We are going to block instance A, you too should defederate them and dissociate. If you are a user on that instance, leave immediately or else you too will be isolated", please remember to ask for reasons, evidence and factual substantiation. Also make sure you search the fediverse using your own search facility and other tools and see if you can find the chain of events that lead to the present situation. This will take time. But make sure you do this. This is specially important if you are an admin of an instance; if you are in charge of other people's accounts. In that case you are taking decisions that will impact on other people's freedoms and experience.

I woke up to a bunch of notifications here on Mastodon this morning of a bunch of people I follow who had moved their accounts off of Fosstodon.org to other instances due to all the drama happening over on Fosstodon with one of their moderators.

Sad to see some of these people who had called Fosstodon home for several years having to find a new home, but glad to see they have done so.

I encourage everyone who might have lost contact with some of those folks to try your best to track them down, as I've read from several where the migration didn't go 100% for several of them, so they lost both people they were following and people that were following them.
