@noiob Say... do we *exclusively* federate with mastodon.social here? Because that would be really sad, people are getting into instances all over the place. But I can't read or follow people from elsewhere, as it seems... //cc @vahnj

@natanji @noiob we opened up to witches.town recently - I'm open to adding folks in but there is a set of criteria people have to meet for us to be comfortable federating with them

@vahnj @noiob I suppose I signed up for the wrong thing then, I never understood from the server description that you wouldn't federate with the whole rest of the network but just keep a small whitelist... maybe you could put that info somewhere more prominently?

@vahnj @noiob I also suppose I'd look for different technical solutions to that problem, e.g. instead of "post to public timelines" visibility of posts you can decide to post only to a subset of the fediverse that is user-configurable. It's such a hassle to need multiple accounts...

@natanji @noiob if only it were as simple as just implementing something! You have to consider all the implications of communicating with other instances, so you can't just make changes to things without potentially causing greater issues among the federated community. We still want a space at the table!

@vahnj @noiob Sure. I believe it would be a really important feature for other things, though. For instance, I might trust this server for my direct messages and private posts, but want to make sure they never leave this instance (or a specific network of trusted instances).
I suppose this should be something I bring up on the Mastodon Github though, eh?

@vahnj @natanji go ahead, Masto can use good ideas :)

@noiob @vahnj I opened issues #983 and #979, that should definitely help.
