@km @kariboka Regarding the blocklists, I wholeheartedly agree and hope it's being worked on by others to be able to share blocks with real evidence in a safe place for admins. I've seen people say such work is being done.

@BeAware @kariboka

how do you come in touch with people you don't want to see if you don't follow them?

@km @kariboka On Fedi? I have quite a few relays. Otherwise, I'd ask the question of how would I come in touch with people I want to see? ‍️

@BeAware @kariboka

I suspect that many instances go actively in search for other instances to block

@km @kariboka I don't have time for that. If i see it on fediblock, i investigate if it's worth blocking for me. If i see it myself, then obviously I can choose at that moment.

@BeAware @kariboka

ok. happy blocking, blocking is what makes the network grow

@km @kariboka You seem very angry...

I only block those who I don't like. I shouldn't have to see people spouting the n-word every sentence if I don't want to, thats why I'm on my own instance.

I'm federated with 16,000+ instances.

@BeAware @kariboka

I have 118k, but I don't know if that is more or less than what you have, I don't know any math.

I still don't understand how you come in contact with people you don't want to see if you don't follow them.

it is close to midnight here in Sweden, so I'll say bye-bye for now

@km @BeAware I never knew we could see that lol! here:

@kariboka @km relays carry many different types of people and I can't control exactly what comes through. Also, I am not on Akkoma, so my interface for that isn't very clean. I can only see per instance and I'd have to add them all up.

Though, I clear out accounts I don't interact with, once a week to save space on profile pics and headers.

@BeAware

Though, I clear out accounts I don’t interact with, once a week to save space on profile pics and headers.

That’s a good practice, I will learn if I can do the same here.

@kariboka It's definitely good that I can do that, otherwise I feel I'd have like 50-100 gb of *just* profile pics and headers.

I'm not sure if Akkoma has that ability, though I always wonder which ones do and don't because I'm always thinking of getting off of Mastodon.

Sharkey did not have that ability when I used it back in May. However, they did have the ability to not have media cache at all, and pull from the original instance as needed.

@BeAware I will get into this and let you know. last time I checked my whole db was 17GB

@kariboka ah, I don't think media is normally saved to the database.

So if you're not using much more than that on the entire disk, I would guess that media isn't cached there either.‍️

@BeAware hmm other than that I have only the local uploads. But there is a cache because I had to set a subdomain only for this (all images here are under cache.harpia.red) for instance your profile pic

@kariboka well, since you have a subdomain, I'd guess that it's somewhere on your server, unless you have cloud storage setup with S3 or something. I do, but the way mastodon has it integrated, it's like no difference between local or cloud to clear it out. Same commands.
