I thought qoto was supposed to be against dogma, quite disappointing

@HinamizawaShokogun22

>has rule against ageism
>suspends a server with an ageist justification

So close to greatness...

@HinamizawaShokogun22 i am actually quite curious about how @freemo & co might elaborate on that reasoning 🤔

@nep

I can not see the message you are responding to. Happy to answer though if i know the question.

@HinamizawaShokogun22@childlove.su

@freemo There seems to be a contradiction between your rules (which explicitly forbid age-based discrimination) and your reason (which is itself discriminatory in that way) for suspending childlove.su. I do think there are legitimate liability reasons to remove media from it, but not suspension, and certainly not the reason given.

@nep

Huh, speech had nothing to do with why they were spuspended, so what does our rules against hate speech against people based on age have to do with anything. Sounds like your reaching to make an argument that doesn't exist.

We do however explicitly have a rule that we will defederate over illegal activity, which promoting sex with minors would fall under.

@freemo Illegal in what way? At worst it *might* fall under US conspiracy law, but even that would require an actus reus (which is more than just "promotion"), and even then it doesn't pose any liability for the instance itself.

@nep Sex with minors, even who consent, is illegal. Servers which promote this illegal act will be blocked. I would be happy to make a more explicit rule that covers this if you feel we arent clear enough about it.
