@jerry Atm i am confused about my best course of action [not your instructions; they're clear... just which option might be the least worst for me].

Pros Here:

• having done many fedi-hops over my 13 months, this instance is running the sweetest of all for me so far, wrt my custom FOSS emojis [ta, again!], #GlitchSoc, fab 11K toot-chars, correctly functioning news-bots i follow, good Goldilocks size of not too big for good admin & modding, not too small for poor federating, but just right... & ofc your excellent stewardship!

Cons There:

• only the standard Masto icon again [joke, albeit not entirely...]
• fear that if only small numbers of members from here migrate there, & few noobs join, then it becomes ipso facto a "small instance" with great risk of poor federating [having tried a few small instances during my hopping, they all suffered poor federating, such that lots of peeps that i routinely saw when on larger instances, were invisible [MIA] on those smallies; i never wish to repeat this problem].

Ergo, me, atm... 🤔 🤷‍♀️​

@jerry Honestly I'd rather just watch and see how threads plays out. If it sucks I know how to use the block button. Zuck already has all my personal info anyway.

@jerry I'm wondering what percentage of the instances that block infosec.exchange will also block infosec.space.

@jbaggs that's a good question. It'll be telling if they do, since we'll then know it isn't about CISA after all.

@jerry @jbaggs Why would anyone block this instance? 🤔

jerry, 4 months ago

@bughuntercat @jbaggs lots of instances blocked Infosec.exchange because I was going to let the head of CISA have an account here.
