I have no intention to change domain myself, but several people have mentioned that migration in gnusocial is currently a pain. It could probably be more automated. -

Looks like it's pretty straightforward to export a list of followed user details via the gnusocial API. I'll see if I can devise something to then resubscribe to the list. That would make moving from one server to another easier. -

@chalkahlom If that could work via an onion address it might be interesting, but I don't know if webRTC is supported in a Tor browser. As a general rule, if it doesn't work in a Tor browser I'm not going to include it. -

@chalkahlom I'll investigate and see if it would be worth including. -

@frankiesaxx I'm old enough to have lived through actually traumatic things and to know people living in actually traumatic conditions, like war zones, so I don't have a great deal of sympathy with people getting traumatized by fluff on gnusocial. -

While I agree and assert the right of a server to enforce blocks and associate how they wish, I do not think any server has any responsibility to take action on their end to enforce a black that another server has done, nor do I feel it is ultimately appropriate for you to do so. Moreover, it isn't feasible on any sort of scale, because all of your admin time at some point would be spent on accomodating to all the other instances, when it should be spent on _your own instance_ and _your own community_. An instance admin's responsibility is to their instance first.

Obviously I'm a HA user so, take my thoughts as you will.
But I'd figure to leave them unblocked, honestly.
At the end of the day, choosing to block your server is their choice, in doing so they accept what comes with that, if there's accidental workarounds on your end well, kinda tough shit. I recognize that sounds a tad harsh, but it's their choice to block, it's not on you to accommodate that. Fediverse is for...yknow, federating, after all. If they try and stop that, and a thing goes iffy, well yeah of course it did they're trying to stop the main intent. -

@strypey There's a very simple solution to that: move to a !gnusocial server that doesn't try to mimic Twitter's arbitrary restrictions. -

@maiyannah @archaeme ultimately, nodes obsessed with blocking other nodes will only lose out and deprive their users. This kind of folly will work itself out over time. -

@mikegerwitz trying to retrofit security onto gnusocial I think would be a mistake. Instead if folks want DMs or verified posts they should use existing secure apps which have been well tested. gnusocial should merely make it easy to look up your direct communication address. GPG key, Tox ID, xmpp, etc. -

@archaeme Ultimately I cannot stop them from doing this nor do I think it would be appropriate for me to do so even if I could, but that doesn't mean I cannot criticise it, and I would encourage instance admins to treat the Fediverse with more care and respect. We are not a "brand" or an advertising byword. We're people. We're not in the silos anymore, and I don't want to see the Fediverse become like those silos. -

On the topic of blocklists, I think blocking at the user level is completely legitimate. As a user I should be able to decide who I do or don't want to communicate with. At the server/admin level I think it's only legitimate if the admin is open about which other servers they're blocking and publishes the list so that there isn't then any confusion about why messages are not showing up. With a published list users can also apply peer pressure to their admin if there is inappropriate blocking going on.
Secret admin blocklists are equivalent to secret laws and secret trials in apespace, or Twitter shadowbans. They're a process, but not a legitimate one.
