Some may remember when #CoSo was apart of the #Fediverse until many in the latter blocked #CounterSocial for blocking IP addresses from countries sending waves of attack bots: https://countersocial.documize.com/s/c30dhakp0nhtab60utag/countersocial-blog/d/c5piofvuaqg133k3is90/the-history-of-countersocial-and-mastodon
Years later, I noticed some instances blocking those same countries (albeit temporarily), while some banned countries permanently: https://c.im/about
However, none of those were defederated. 🤔
Also, if CoSo was fully in the Fediverse, it would be a top 10 instance: https://darnell.day/fediverse-rankings-top-30-active-instances-including-controversial-servers
@Darnell and Eugen Rochko promised me in a thread that this would never happen when he rolled the IP blocking as a feature
and he said if it did it would be dealt with
lmao
@Darnell lol he told me that feature would never be used for country blocks but only individual IP blocking & if any instance admin did use it for country blocking he would deal with it
just trying to save face when i called him out when he rolled that feature out - always knew it would end up being used to block countries lol temp or not just shows what hypocrite he is
