Does anybody *know of* any "successful" existing allowlist-only instances?

#MastoAdmin #FediblockMeta

@heidilifeldman l topped up #m4hTopUp #MastodonForHarris #USPol

@tchambers @heidilifeldman Frustrating that there are now two competing hashtags.

@tchambers @heidilifeldman That said, the “4” hashtag is #3 trending on my instance, and #8 trending on mastodon dot social.

@heidilifeldman I love your bold leap to half a million!! You’re gonna make it

Manually managing the domains you block is absolutely no substitute for actually good moderation tools, where #Mastodon has a lot of work to do.

But in the meantime, if your instance doesn't have a good blocklist, you can upload this CSV to your "Domain blocking list" at example.social/settings/imports to block some of the worst instances:

I like that the @SoraSNS #Mastodon app has algorithmic feeds. But the UI is visually overwhelming and constantly thrashing due to content updates and image and link preview loading.

Sorry, the "#brat" color is not "chartreuse"; it's "pistachio green" (Werner), "strong greenish yellow" (ISCC-NBS), "inch worm" (Pantone), or "cosse green" (Ridgway).

Maybe stay off social media tonight

@BeAware Re: “News spreads fast” — the telegraph introduced to the world the *light-speed travel* of information. Certainly the internet *also* does that, but the telegraph was the first to do it. I didn’t live through it of course but that is mind-boggling.

@BeAware The internet certainly is more powerful than all of them combined, but the question isn’t which would have changed the world the most in a vacuum, in the absence of the other three, or which we would choose if we could only have one. The question is which one most altered the world that it entered.

@pfefferle What I mean is, I thought domains had to be moderator-approved for those author chips to show up? Is your domain approved?

@pfefferle How did you get your domain approved?

@BeAware Yeah, bridging is not federation.

@BeAware As a technology, ATProto is very interesting to me, but I think we’ll have to wait and see how it plays out. It hasn’t really delivered on its promise yet the way ActivityPub has.

@BeAware If people started building ATProto apps like crazy, and they took off in popularity until they outnumbered ActivityPub implementations — would ATProto suddenly be “the fediverse”? And what would ActivityPub be, then?

@tchambers l don’t see this reply in the Threads app?

@tchambers @NewsDesk When will these be more than just read-only glorified RSS feeds?

@tchambers @NewsDesk As of right now this doesn't feel much different from following all those "bird.makeup" Twitter syndicators that filled up the Fediverse a couple years ago.
