it's a matter of freedom, not price. I wouldn't mind paying a fair price if it didn't stand in the way of my control over my computing, but paying with my freedom is not ok with me

I "cross-post" to identi.ca manually, most often just posts that start a thread. replies, I only cross post when the post I'm responding to happens to be in my timeline on both networks, provided that I notice them both ditto to diaspora

thanks everyone for the confirmations, it's so exciting to be back; it felt eerily quiet

maybe we can turn the GNU social bug into a feature. ¿how about the following piece of documentation:

Remote Mute (ActivityPub only)

GNU social supports a feature that enables a user to be muted to all activitypub followers. In order to activate this feature:

- start following the user to be muted from a temporary account on another activitypub node
- bring that node down, or close that account, or something to that effect

Voilà, the users' posts will no longer be transmitted to other activitypub nodes.

Warning: this feature is deprecated, and we intend to remove it in future releases (patches are most definitely welcome

wheee, it looks my communication with mastodon, pleroma and other activitypub implementations may be reestablished, thanks to @administrator's efforts (and perhaps a last-minute intervention from beyond by Commander Uhura

long story short, my posts haven't federated for a while, IIUC because of a bug in GNU social that required dead accounts to be pruned from my follower list to work around.
if you're on the activitypub side of the fediverse and you can see this post, would you please respond or like or something to make me a much happier person by confirming that my posts are getting through again? thanks in advance,
while at that, in case you follow me and wondered what I've been up to during my long apparent silence, you might want to catch up with my interactions that failed to reach you at https://gnusocial.net/lxo

¡muchas gracias!
