You're welcome. I fully expect them to pull a Tusky for their Jerboa app if we show up more on their radar. What a crock of shit, the Tusky app hardcodes a blacklist of Pleroma and Mastodon instances so that the end user can't connect to them. Hence the need for the Husky fork.
Honestly, it's why I'm trying to jumpstart more diverse but "safe" communities. If it's nothing but lolis and cubs, the target is clear, but with decent discussion based communities, it becomes a bit more difficult and there's an argument to be made that they're not just blocking one type of content, they're blocking entirely unrelated communities because they don't like part of what they're hosting. That bolsters the free speech argument even more when speech they like is inherently intertwined with speech they don't like.
I want this place to thrive. It doesn't need to be the biggest, and inevitably zero tolerance types will block it regardless, but I want the decision to censor it to be painful for as many people as possible.
