@delores If the purchase leads to work on federating users & issues between repo hosts, then you won't have to care about that. An account on one interacts with any others (modulo blocklists, don't think you've escaped #blockwars). -

#WrongThink: wrongthink.net was once a GNU Social instance, but they replaced that with a home-grown non-federated site long ago. If you've seen them on some blocklist, that's just because those lists are poorly-researched at best. ( #BlockWars is the usual context in which wrongthink is raised. )
#postActiv protocols: As I understand it, #OStatus. #Diaspora is under development. Implementing #ActivityPub is a way off. -

@rysiek Could be some configuration error, or maybe cloud's code is older. Or maybe more #blockwars. -

@bryanlunduke #Blockwars. Instance admins block each other's servers left and right over the slightest disagreements. -

-- "... much more secure ActivityPub."
Security between #OStatus and #ActivityPub is exactly the same. If that's the sole advantage you're looking for, you'll be soundly disappointed on an AP-only network.
As for the #blockwars problem that Roy @schestowitz mentioned, the only possible solutions are (1) to put better blocking and filtering tools in the hands of the users instead of concentrating more power into admins' hands; and (2) smaller instances instead of larger ones.

@sulman @moonman @zaitcev See https://is.gd/3DJmhr and https://is.gd/6ORpgi and you'll know why he won't launch his own instance. (In a word, #blockwars.) -

@awg @veg05 @maiyannah It is unfortunate that Roy Schestowitz was part of an instance that actively participates in #blockwars and its ban lists.
I've seen his posts all over for years. He's opinionated (relatively leftish) and prolific. But I've never known him to post something that deserves closing of his account. -

@strypey Modulo #blockwars. If your instance is blocked by the admin of the other instance, the statement will not be true. But otherwise, you are correct. CC: @randomascii -

I get the impression that $USER's contacts over on masto.soc did not know that they could no longer receive $USER's notices. #Blockwars continues to stir up messes long after most people have lost their taste for the topic.
The solution is simple: keep accounts on a couple of instances with different admins and different moderation policies, so you don't unknowingly lose contact with your contacts. Even better if you can self-host one of those accounts.
