🎓 Dr. Freemo :jpf: 🇳🇱's posts Post Back to profile

So i spent a few hours guaranteeing 20 instances, and adding about 25 or 30 endorsements/censors/hesitations.

I love the idea and I think it has a LOT of potential.

Regardless I want to list it all here so the effected instances can be aware and if they wish respond/react. You can read my reason for endorsement of any of the below servers in the links provided.

I suppose this can also double as my #FollowFriday #FF !

Also please consider if you are an admin signing up and endorsing these and other instances as well.

But you do realize that every admin of the instances you guarantee gets a DM fromm fediser?

> Also please consider if you are an admin signing up and endorsing these and other instances as well.

The whole system only makes sense if you rate instances that you know personally and are convinced of their trustworthiness.

@Tealk Oh they do... no I didnt realize that.

When I got guaranteed and endorsed twice I did not receive any DM. I just checked now. If I had known that I wouldnt have tagged them :( Are you sure?

Yes I am sure. There is an exception if you have set the guarantee as not visible.

Ahh that explains it.. botsinspace has me blocked.. (it was kinda messed up they blocked me then lied to me when i was trying to debug me and told me I wasnt... wasted most of a day only to find out later I was).

Bring this up in the support channels, maybe they can change the channel instance. It should be an instance that does not block anyone.

@Tealk One thing though.. I think you only get the messages if you have claimed the instance... Since all these instances werent claimed and I just garunteed them anyway, I dont think they would have gotten notified. The bot wouldnt know how to reach them.

You can also make a request here and a known entity can then guarantee for you
https://gui.fediseer.com/solicitations

Since there are only 20 guarantees available per instance, I only use this for instances I know.

@Tealk @freemo Thanks, I've done that.

I'll check if an instance already has a guarantee before I give it, to get as many on there as possible.

It was my pleasuure and well earned...

I suggest you consider paying it forward, feel no obligation to endorse us but if you feel there are instances worthy of endorsement or garuntees I humbly suggest you add them.

Either way, happy to help

Anyway good luck and if there is anything I can do to help please feel free to reach out to me.

Happy to help.

Keep in mind you can censor and hesitate on non-garunteed instances. But to endorse either you or someone who has been garunteed needs to garuntee them first.

The list of servers that are garunteed is confusingly called the "white list".

Now that I garunteed you you can garuntee up to 20 other instances, but you can endorse any number of instances.

You cant garuntee a server that is already garunteed, it will give a warning and **not** consume one of your 20 slots. You can also revoke a garuntee and free up one of your 20 slots. Revoking a garuntee will however invalidate everything in the trust tree below you if the orphaned instance doesnt find a new guarantee (or you regaruntee) within 24 hours.

I think thats more or less the gist of it. Keep in mind a guarantee only means "this server isnt predominately spam", it isnt an indication of trust itself beyond that.

Since you untagged everyone no one will see it.

Also keep in mind garuntees only are an indication an instance is not mostly spam/fake accounts. Endorsements are more praise worthy.... So ideally it should be a light barrier to entry to get a garuntee.

Of course people need to be tagged to hear your ask :)
