Public Patreon update about .art's policy regarding the instances we federate with (and stop federating with / fediblock).

I've changed one line there. If the community vibe on .art is that you, the users here, would rather we defederate with them, we'll do that.
@Curator how're you feeling about mstdn.social? I might shift my butt over there.

@ifixcoinops I don't know if the situation has improved. I moved from mstdn to masto.ai another instance run by the same admin because it was struggling to keep up. The timelines were often delayed by an hour or so just due to the over 100k users.

Was a great instance prior to the current onslaught of users, and even while sluggish it was still a bunch of good-natured folks. Masto.ai is much the same just smaller and faster currently.

@Belghast Cheers for the rec, I was wondering more about the federation/defederation/silencing status but a smaller server does sound more like the way to go
@ifixcoinops on defed concerns, I never ran into any issues with mstdn. I was able to follow people freely on all of the servers that I tried. I am sure someone out there is probably blocking them but I never found it.
