@realcaseyrollins My initial reaction is no, but let me reflect on that a bit, I might change my mind.

@neurolili Happy to help you set it up... All of the points you listed apply to QOTO as well so seems we would work well together as instances (though we dont domain block at the request of our LGBTQ community which is a priority for us, see here: qoto.org/@freemo/1093198179438 )

One thing to keep inn mind... small servers have small voices. Federation is based on the collective following of your whole server. So bigger servers show up in the federated timeline of far far more instances than small servers. On a small server your largely screaming into the void and no one will hear you till you get a large following.

Anyway let me know how I can help.

@abde It is a very small number of very loud people... Thankfully last I checked QOTO remains the top 10 most federated instance (lowest insularity) on the fediverse.... So im not that worried. I just hate when people throw around misinformation.

@apinae I respect their right too.. I just wish they were making an informed decision rather than willful ignorance.

@hasmis yea for sure... the whole fascism isnt fascism if i call you a fascist first thing :)

@cee You've always been one of the greats around this place. You are very much appreciated.

@freemo i blocked those people lmao, i dont want no petite bourgeois rad-libs giving me hell for wrong-think, guilt by association or some other BS.

cancel cancel-culture :blobgiggle:

@davoloid

The follow button becomes inactive if you are blocked or if you click it it says pending and never goes through.

@jerlich @digital_carver

Good results so far.. some server admins told us to fuck off and wouldn't even listen. But quite a few so far have told me we are now removed from the block list. Several others are reviewing our timeline and will make a decision.

I expect many instances wont listen since they never bothered to fact check the accusations in the first place. But the fact that in less than an hour many have already agreed to unblock us is enough for me to consider this a successful interaction.

🎓 Dr. Freemo :jpf: 🇳🇱  
So I reached out to admins of the few instances that block us with a polite email explaining some of the misinformation spread about us in the past...

I cant find the screenshots, and I think i had them. But you can see a remenant of it here:

schlomp.space/FediBlock/data/p

This was an example where nazi content from QOTO was reported (despite being takenn down once noticed). As you can see in the comments someone talks about snow and conspirators and links to a post. This server has since went down but the post linked to is where snow called for nazis to sign up to QOTO and post content then report it to try to get QOTO blocked.

Despite not getting on fediblock it did fool several servers.

It isnt for no reason.. there is a record of a known nazi bewing pissed at gettingn suspended (snow, and the record is on fediblock where he tried to get us added).

He signed up to our server, posted hatte speech then immediately signed up to tons of other servers and reported it. He also reported it to fediblock. His posts and account were deleted but not before the rumors spread. Luckily fediblock called him out and posted a post of his where he admited he was doing this and encouraged other users to do the same.. so while it didnt work on fediblock the rumors still spread anyway.. ic an dig up the photo evidence for you if youd like.

@aurynn @admin

@smollestbunny

If you wish us blocked feel free to report any posts we make that are troublesome. At least that way we can suspend any users that are being unkind as well and you make the world a better place.

But you may find you have a very hard time finding any unkind posts on our server as we have a pretty strict policy against that.

@aurynn @admin

@jerlich

Can't win-em-all .... frankly anyone who would block us either doesnt fact-check or is likely to be just plain toxic.. i dont mind addressing the former as best I cann.
