Hey admins, remember when the used to federate? Please don't break the . Leave the blocking to the users.

@pounce My instance is just fine. As far as I know the administrators haven't de-federated due to being butt hurt or having their feeling hurt.

@terryenglish other instances defederate with librem.one because it's crap
if you have a problem with that move to a less shitty instance

@terryenglish yeah,
they cloned mastodon. changed the logo. charged for it and removed the report feature.

purism is a company that leeches off of free software projects. All they've done here is copied code other people have worked hard to make, and decided to sell it while taking zero responsibility for moderating the server.
If you can't see why people wouldn't want to deal with that i can't help you.

@pounce

A) They don't charge for the mastodon or chat portion of their Librem One subscription.

B) Isn't mastodon itself a fork GNU Social?

C) They do moderate and handle reports as I myself have been reported before (a report made in bad faith)

@terryenglish i think forks are perfectly healthy
i've maintained forks of projects before and i have a few more planned.
I don't think mastodon is a fork, but even if it were it's a separate project with its own features and use case from gnu social.

librem.one doesn't seem to me like a fork that adds very much like other instances i've seen.
In my experience whenever purism forks software it just changes some logos and then leaves it unmaintained and without security patches.

That being said, I know most servers defederated from librem.one due to the reports being removed. If they've changed that, then servers might lift the ban. Just email an admin and tell them that purism will actually handle reports now and they might federate with you again.

@pounce I will need to confirm. It's possible that they originally were going to moderate but then have since dropped doing it. It was probably close to two years ago since I was reported.
