Please don't clog up the Transgender Concerns Form with so many spurious reports that it becomes unusable, and the Missouri government gets Big Mad. Because that would be wrong.

@experiencersinternational there are reasonable arguments against it though, the strength of the fediverse is that we can agree to disagree on that and move on. Some servers allow it and some don’t
@aurynn @experiencersinternational also if you have users that depends on some of the mirrors you can also run your own instance, with an allow list if you want
Curious to know what are people intuition about it without getting into a computer science argument
I would be nice if Mastodon admin could make an allow-list of accounts for other servers, this would allow them to only allow accounts of public interest for their community from bird.makeup and remove noise from the rest.
That feature might be too niche though. #MastoDev
