It has (finally!) dawned on me that CoSo is a "mastodon server" that is NOT connected to the fediverse. I've read the FAQ here, and I get what it's trying to do. My personal, admittedly unsolicited opinion (and perhaps technically unstable) is that connecting to the federation could still happen with those bad actor nations still blocked, which would increase connectivity to the rest of the social landscape. No?

Hey gang! THANKS TO ALL OF YOU who responded to my inquiry with patient guidance. I have read countersocial.documize.com/s/c - I dig it, and I'm going to stick around here :-) Cheers.

@duaneaubin
It was not CoSo choice, but the founder of the Mastodon that initiated the separation of CoSo from the fed. It was after that was done that the fork was fully initiated for CoSo.

@duaneaubin there's some bad blood there. i don't know the full story but i doubt it will go back into the federation.

@duaneaubin Blocking the bad actor nations is exactly the excuse that Eugen used for de-federating CoSo.

Eugen is exceedingly unlikely to admit to his mistake.

@duaneaubin There ya go! Reading the manual and all. I haven't really done that yet. I learn a few tricks every month or so. LOL
