@dansup Mm, I think maybe we should have a bit more faith in the Fediverse, and other Pixelfed servers? That's why I mentioned the “pledge”, and why I mentioned some moderation over which servers are accepted. Of course, just random servers would be bad from many standpoints.
Not giving an option is saying “all other servers deserve no trust”.
@kizu @dansup it should be easy to check that once an update is released, all the instances that are in that list update without delays. Regarding the reports, the more people in a single server, the more work it will mean for their administrators.
