To those trying to select a linux distro: one of the most important factors in which distro to choose is *support*. #distrowatch.com sadly neglects this. So ppl will choose a distro like #Septor b/c the description might be just what they're after, but #netsplit.de shows not a single IRC channel for it. Choose #Mint, then later discover the docs are jailed in #Cloudflare.
@resist1984 (Just found this post from you replying to my other post)
I think both Guix and Debian tend to be tor-friendly / cloudflare-free
@resist1984 @altlink@mamot.fr account has been suspended.
@Xantulon yeah, i heard some people see that. It's misleading, because mamot.fr did not suspend the altlink account. It's actually your own instance (mastodon.social) that is blocking you from following altlink. If you follow altlink from a different instance than mastodon.social, it will work.
@resist1984 well, that's disappointing, and a misleading status.
@Xantulon You might find this page useful: https://fedisus.dokku.hackr.org/ It tracks which nodes are blocking other nodes. Caveat: I think it's incomplete.
@resist1984 I've explained that necessity to people I've introduced to #Mastodon, but I've never done it myself. I guess I hadn't had a compelling enough reason...
