@mcepl I moved from floss.social half a year ago. Their moderation is just too much for me. That's OK. It may be just right for someone else. That's why we have many instances to choose from. I've been really happy on social.vivaldi.net.

@sesivany
I remember your story. I would like to hear some others experiences (and some other tips … I have absolutely nothing in common with Vivaldi, no disrespect meant). Also, I just cannot believe they would block either the biggest Mastodon server there is (I think) and/or one of the most famous content creators in the FLOSS world. Weird.

@mcepl mastodon.social was on a semi-block for a long time at floss.social. @fotovoltaika got blocked just because it started mirroring to Bluesky... There is not point in figuring out particularities. Either you're OK with this level of moderation or you're not.

@admin They were. Maybe not directly, but after they set up the bridge to Bluesky by following bsky.brid.gy@bsky.brid.gy, the account disappeared from my follow list and I couldn't see their posts. After I notified them and they stopped following bsky.brid.gy@bsky.brid.gy, they became available to me again.

Hmm, this one looks interesting, https://en.osm.town/ (see https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Mastodon). Do you know anything about it?

@mcepl @davew @admin hey, I'm curious to know more about this. Who is the content creator the floss.social is blocking and why it's doing it?
And more in general, what's going on with this instance?
I think I might be out of the loop but after reading this post and the comments now I really want to better understand what you're talking about.

When I go to https://floss.social/@davew@mastodon.social I get information window, where I cannot subscribe to following him (the cursor turns into that crossed circle) and the bottom of the information panel says “Profile not available” (in Czech).
It is Dave Winer, the author of RSS, and owner of the longest running blog on the Internet, http://scripting.com/

@mcepl In the scenario where the "Follow" button is deactivated when viewing a user profile, it is due to the remote server not allowing the follow action. Unfortunately we would not have any information about the cause of that situation on the remote server and/or user profile settings.
