I could always screenshot the internal discussion among QOTO mods that clearly shows that to be false. But considering Alex has no issue lying about the issue would it even be worth the effort I wonder.
Here you go, one of QOTO's internal messages I sent to the other QOTO moderators when discussing the incident (see timestamp). As I clearly state again here, the lawyer is only involved to help QOTO rewrite our ToS and federation policy. No mention of suing anyone or raising legal issues.
If I could effortlessly prove and clarify something I would, especially if I was trying to win over a crowd against misinformation. I would not threaten to do so without following through, I don't think that would win over the crowd.
Either way, Feelmo, I'll be back to bully you again later. Don't reply to this or you'll be hearing from my legal department!*
* Who will happily help you write a more effective TOS... what did you think I meant?
