@dalias@hachyderm.io Trust me, that topic is way more complicated than that. If you spend enough time in the GOS chat rooms, CalyxOS automatically become the bad guys. CalyxOS on the other hand actually banned talking about anything GOS related in their rooms for about 2 years now, but certain people still spread the conspiracy theory that they are planning attacks on GOS. Anyone who has spent a single day there can confirm that this is not the case and the developers just want peace and quiet. Talking about gaslighting people.
@dalias@hachyderm.io I've actually no idea what you're talking about. I've been using CalyxOS for about three years now, was regularly part of their community and chat rooms and never saw anything like that.
So is #DivestOS and their apps officially dead now? There doesn't seem to be any clear info on their website. Many people will probably unknowingly continue to use #Mulch or #Mull without any in-app notification. #Fdroid
@mastodonmigration@mastodon.online If you read through #mastoadmin posts after the recent spam wave, some admins definitely blocked or silenced mastodon.social. Some temporary, some longer.
@mastodonmigration@mastodon.online I just don't understand where this certainty of your statement comes from or what your intention is. "They will not...", "They're not at risk...".
And I'm pretty sure I've also seen statements by bigger instances with a couple thousand of users that back this decision (unfortunately the search isn't really good enough to find those posts atm).
The question is also whether the temporary blockings of mastodon.social will at some point become very many temporary blockings which are then actually more or less permanent. The moderation of mastodon.social will definitely suffer as the number of users increases (even if you leave out spam accounts and attacks like yesterday). The other issues were mentioned in the post by @feditips@mstdn.social .
If the users can do it and are confident enough, they should definitely register on other instances. If only for the reason of load distribution and to keep the #Fediverse alive and a nice and friendly place.
Btw some of the other fediverse software uses captchas to prevent bot accounts.
