An alternative to img2img is to simply use the highres fix scaling when you generate it. IMO if you have the original setup (prompt, seed, model, embedding, lora, etc) as opposed to only the output image, you should always give highres fix scaling a try.

People keep praising federation and decentralization and yadda yadda yadda without noticing the elephant in the room: The owner of an instance can block other instances, therefore denying its users from contents solely because they choose to do so.

This is extremely problematic for me because an instance is not only a community by itself, but also supposed to be a window into the Fediverse for its users. For those who came from Reddit, can you imagine using a reddit third party client only to find out they don’t allow you to view certain subreddits for whatever reason?

Huge respect to Burggit for having the ball to run a truly “safe and diverse” space for the Fediverse dwellers.

and I’m grad to see burggit listed on both 😂

Lemmy has a even bigger block list https://lemmy.ml/instances .

To be fair bunch of the blocked instances seem fishy but there are a few that I can only assume are blocked due to they allow nsfw contents.

So much this. If you want to bring up federated community as a selling point you should also tell the user if your instance block any other instance.
