 @artmin@mastoart.social do you promise us we won't get another welshpixie in charge and there will be no fedi-wide witch hunting from your instance? @Kye Thank you for the heads-up! We'll take a look at the instances in question and update the list accordingly if suitable. Thanks for helping us improve mastoart.social!    CC @Epsi Hey, look, someone turned the thought you were entertaining into reality! @epsi Ah, oops. Wrong account. But you already saw it anyway.  @mezzodrinker ye lol
though tbh now I think that it's more ideal for artists to just be anywhere on fedi, still it is nice to see a new art instance come up for those who aren't too familiar with federation  @artmin@mastoart.social Any affiliation with the libelous, bad-actor  @OctaviaConAmore @artmin @OctaviaConAmore @artmin @ophiocephalic @artmin Oh, my last reply was made right before seeing this :blobfox_laugh_sweat:β No worries, no disrespect felt. I think I'm mostly speaking from a fear that there'd be another art instance that waves away blocklist-related worries :zerotwo_dead:β @OctaviaConAmore @artmin @ophiocephalic Now that's an entirely valid reason to exist, but being coy isn't the way tonearn trust. @doug @OctaviaConAmore @artmin The fedi needs an alternative to that "other art instance", because it has defederated itself from a majority of the federation. But no forgiveness from your instance (which has itself been declared heretical?) for not being instantly steeped in the unfathomable esoterica of fediverse blocklist politics @ophiocephalic I explicitly said, being an alternative is perfectly justified, they should be honest about it. @doug @OctaviaConAmore @artmin @ophiocephalic @OctaviaConAmore Again, I have _explicitly_ said they have presented their target audience. They have done that. They are aiming at artists. They want art (T&C apply, in the rules). Done. Can you accept I have said that yet? /c @ophiocephalic @OctaviaConAmore My second point you appear to be deliberately avoiding is their lack of information in regards to their blocklist policy, WHICH has been questioned IN THIS THREAD, and you're defending it based on nothing. They have posted nothing bar one reply to one post. Obviously this is where they are positioning themselves against other instances, even choosing a similar name (to be clear, is perfectly justified!). And you want good faith and mercy from me, but not you? @doug @ophiocephalic @artmin Honest about what? Coy about what? They're an art instance at a time when more than the usual number of artists might be looking for a home :zerotwo_shrug:β Would you rather they came out with "<expletive> <instances> and <admins>, they're <expletive> <expletive>" or something similar as their first message? :cat_sip:β @OctaviaConAmore Becauase that's literally the only way to introduce yourself as a new server in a populated world of Mastodon servers. Boilerplate "Hi!" and what you propose? Please. There are 2 things people should take care to evaluate when joining an instance. The community they want to host (eg special interest), and how well it is admijistered (moderated) based on its rules and (whispers...) blocklist. This introduction has stated the intended interest they want to serve. Check. However his thread is full of critique of the administration AS PRESENTED. No reading between the lines. @doug @artmin @artmin@mastoart.social Good luck with your instance, it was really important to see an alternative for artists. |
