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.
