Chłop Marcin #Fediwersum jest niestety jak labirynt złożony paywallów. 
🧱 Idziesz sobie prostą drogą, a tu ściana, skręcasz, a tam kolejna ściana, wracasz, idziesz trochę i znowu ściana. Ten labirynt tworzą wysoce niedoskonałe zasady blokowania instancji. Wysoce łagodne to mało powiedziane.
Do napisania tego wpisu zainspirował mnie wpis https://kolektiva.social/@tf/112590971637521253, w którym czytamy, co zrobić, żeby sobie w tym labiryncie jakoś radzić. Jakoś.

A #mastodon instance is not like an email provider, rather it fundamentally determines who you can and cannot talk to in the fediverse. Unlike with email, it’s perfectly possible to have multiple accounts that can’t see and follow themselves — the fediverse is a collection of parochial forums with ill defined and unstable connections between them. My advice for anyone considering moving instances: 1. Avoid small instances, anything that doesn’t have users in the order of at least 10k (if you are on a small instance you literally don’t know what you are missing), 2. Spend some time with the instance’s local and federated timelines, if there isn’t enough stuff there that interests you, the instance is not a good fit (this is especially important if you have broad interests) 3. Examine the published list of instances the new server blocks; if the new instance doesn’t publish it, stay away from it — blocklists are the Mastodon version of the algorithm, so you really want to know at least broadly what the local one looks like. 4. Initially create a parallel account, transfer your following list manually (you can export and import this from the web interface) and see for a few days how it works out relative to your old instance; there are factors in play that cannot be assessed without actually being on the instance, notably there is no way to tell which instances block a particular instance. 5. The blocklists mean that moving instance you might loose followers and not be able to follow everyone you did before. If you were to use the ‘migrate’ feature, this becomes obvious as some following will not transfer over, but you really don’t want to use the ‘migrate’ feature, it serves no useful purpose over the ‘redirect’ which you can turn off at any time.
