@mkljczk: because it's mastodon.art

@mkljczk it's the default reason when no other reason would make sense. (Read: I made it the fuck up)

@phnt guess the definition of alt-fedi now includes not federating

@mkljczk It's possible they wanted to federated in some way or talked about federation and pixie decided to have none of that. Your guess is as good as mine.

@hj @mkljczk The art of mastodon.art is their blocklist.

@lanodan @mkljczk -- Sun Tzu

@lanodan @mkljczk @hj At this point, it would be better if they used whitelist federation. I don't think it is as bad as Seirdy's instance, but it's probably close.

@phnt @mkljczk @hj But allowlists are a pleroma feature! :D

@lanodan @mkljczk @hj Sorry can't have that then

@phnt @lanodan @hj Seirdy's hosting a small instance with 63 MAU, not an instance disguising as generic and 'inclusive' art-focused mastodon<dot>tld
