   📣 Techy #Fediverse fans!

   The latest version of @gotosocial includes support for allowlists.

   Allowlists automatically prevent federation with all other servers, except those that the admin has added to their allowlist. (Traditional blocklists work the other way round, allowing all federation unless a server is blocked.)

   Allowlists bring more safety but also reduce reach, and that's why it's up to the admin to decide whether to use them.

     p.s. For non-techy people wondering what GoToSocial is, it's another kind of Fediverse server.

     It's compatible with Mastodon, so GoToSocial and Mastodon users can follow each other, but GoToSocial is made by totally different developers and uses totally different software.

     The emphasis on GoToSocial is being "lightweight", so servers use fewer resources. They're also trying to emphasise user safety,

     GoToSocial is still in development, but should be going to beta testing next year. 🤞
