@blakereid the nerd in me kinda wishes it was 512 instead of 500. (although the instance I'm on has a 65,535 character limit lol)
@freemo @BilliardLentil @Gargron @trinsec @khird that might be even better--perhaps something like, "Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM)--formerly known as child pornography" 🤔
@freemo @BilliardLentil @Gargron @trinsec @khird ultimately it's your choice. But child protection experts and researchers do tend to prefer "phase out" the term 'child porn'
@freemo @BilliardLentil @Gargron @trinsec @khird just a heads up. "child porn" is an outdated term. The more appropriate term is 'Child Sexual Abuse Material' (or 'CSAM' for short) because it's not porn, it's abuse. "Porn" is made by consenting adults (for consenting adults). Abuse, is obviously not consensual.
@BilliardLentil @freemo @Gargron @trinsec @khird it seems pretty straight-forward to me (and I think anyone that has the ability to read would agree). But feel free to check for yourself: https://qoto.org/about/more
So it seems joinmastodon removed QOTO from their directory without cause, without contacting us, and without any discussion or due diligence.
Since this is the only way to actually find QOTO for new users if it isnt reversed soon it could mean the end for our wonderful community.
If you care about this place remaining fair, respectful, and inclusive environment I highly suggest everyone reach out to them annd voice your objecttion and your disapointment and having no procedure to keep this fair and inclusive.
If you want to see QOTO stick around you can email your objecttion here:
hello@joinmastodon.org
Feel free to CC me here: jeffrey.freeman@qoto.org
Please be respectful, we want to show them we are the good guys and not give them any reason to object.
If you're hearing a lot about the fediverse these days, you should know: Mastodon is not the whole fediverse and the fediverse is not simply a Twitter replacement. The fediverse is an entire ecosystem, built on something called ActivityPub. Learn more: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2022/11/leaving-twitters-walled-garden
I try to avoid rant mode on here, but seriously, this is so painful to watch.
RT @mmasnick@twitter.com
Maybe instead of YOU trying to think up "the least bad solution" you should TALK TO PEOPLE WHO HAVE STUDIED THIS ISSUE FOR OVER A DECADE. This issue has been studied. Repeatedly.
And your "least bad" idea puts people at tremendous risk.
"Outside of the U.S. we’ve seen multiple 'online harms' proposals that are likely to make things worse for users, especially the most marginalized and vulnerable, and don’t meaningfully give everyday people more say over their online life." https://buff.ly/3GjEqCu
@anguinea @trishussey @taylorlorenz another options is copying the link to the person's post, writing your post, and pasting the link to the person's post.

@trishussey @taylorlorenz I've seen the suggestion of replying to the post and then RTing your reply.
@taylorlorenz
-I can agree with link previews (although, I thought that already exists?).
- Search is fine.
- I believe not having quote-posting is intentional as quote-posting is usually used to abusively dogpile people (although if you feel so inclined, the instance I'm on does have quote-posting)
Elon Musk announces new shadow banning policy for Twitter, targeting what he considers “negative posts.”
This is a rare confirmation of the existence and practice of shadowbanning by a major platform: https://www.xbiz.com/news/270143/elon-musk-announces-new-shadowbanning-policy-for-twitter
A rich guy with a bruised ego shouldn’t have the power to disrupt your life online. Building an interoperable social media could cut them out of the equation. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2022/11/fediverse-could-be-awesome-if-we-dont-screw-it
