@bonifartius Functionally its not a change at all.. We just say "Academic Freedom" instead, which honestly is a better descriptor anyway.

I agree it is a shame we had to do it, but it doesnt really change anything.

@gwr

He is the CEO and founder of Mastodon, he also controls the joinmastodon.org directory at his whims.

@Gargron

For those who care attached are the screenshots of the nazi who was banned from QOTO some time back and started a hate campaign by pretending to be LGBTQ ally "calling us out" but just made up lies... he did this over the course of many months and ultimately is the source of the problems that snowballed and led to all this to begin with.

I will do a write up on this soon.

@gwr e-mail hello@joinmastodon.org and/or tag @Gargron and talk to him. He is the only person who has a say.

For the record here are the screenshots of the nazi who started this hate campaign that ultimately snowballed into this int he first place:

@gwr That should be all it takes, but it isnt, and we dont... He took us off for some made up reason that isnt in the covenant and the reason makes no sense because it was known when we were added to the list in the first place.

Long story short, he removed us because a nazi started a hate campaign against us by creating fake accounts and spreading lies and that nazi won because eugene caved to that for no reason other than popular demand.

@gwr Shouldnt matter too much for us if we dont want any new users coming in... Problem is you tend to slowly loose users over time and without an influx of new users that means eventually a server will die.

We no longer reference free speech in our ToC partly for that reason.

@bonifartius

@gwr Yes its still delisted.. the official directory is joinmastodon.org

@rrb I mean we literally threw small pox infected blankets at them with the intention of murdering them and had countless wars with them and paid money for indian scalps.... infection may have been a big part of it, but it was murder all the same.

Oh my, how did I miss national men's day!!!! Well belated happy men's day to you all.

@Pat

If god didnt like it he wouldnt have made the cutest animals the tastiest :)

With the ever growing number of users and in the spirit of open source (FLOSS), one should contribute where one can. Thus I am allowing myself to be a moderator candidate after learning what the tasks are from @freemo.

For those who aren't familiar with me, I have been on this instance before the whole twitter migrations (this current one and the one back in April 2022) to be more precise since March 2021.

Currently I have been trying to help new comers familiarize themselves specifically with Mastodon (both mobile and desktop) and further the fediverse.

@quantumsensing The long and short of it is that we take a stance where the safety of the lives of our LGBTQ community is our top priority. We implemented feature (subscribe) and federation policies that allow our LGBTQ to safely monitor bad-actor accounts for doxxing and calls to violence without exposing their identities. This allows them to disseminate this information to their community to keep themselves safe... Gargron felt this was a bad look for his empire as it exposes new users to the fact that there are bad people on his network at all. As such he removed us from their official directory and refuses to engage in a conversation about it.

@pwinn

At this point I doubt he cares about any instance other than his own... "optics" as he puts it.

@Gargron

He posts this, but still no mention of our situation or any attempt to have a conversation on it... shameful.. seems he looks after his own ass, his own server, but really dont give a rats ass about when it hurts other instances.
