@imabuddha I have my doubts he has any intention of coming to his senses. But thanks for your kind words.

@freemo I am sorry you’ve had to deal with this situation, but thankful for your efforts. I first heard of QOTO via the official mastodon app, so if I were first joining mastodon today I wouldn’t see this wonderful instance. I hope that Eugen will come to his senses and relist QOTO soon.
Thank you very much for all that you do in helping to run this instance.
🙇🏻
@davewalker To be fair the difference is a bike cant go the speed limit, a car can... Sot eh bike is impeding traffic whereas the car isnt.

@Elephantidae @freemo But isn't this the way that the Nazi's dominated in Germany historically? It wasn't "really" that most petty government officials saw themselves as doing terrible things. But by collective small actions and inaction they did serve the Nazi's goals. So effectively they were part of the Nazi machine. The danger they posed to others was that of real live Nazis.
Now, the fascists see the demolition of Twitter as a forum as a step forward for them. Thwarting Mastodon would be a next step. Not actively standing up to that would be a huge mistake.
I have added an addition section to the end of my article
# Eugen Rochko, CEO of Mastodon, Found to Support Nazi’s Agenda
It is four points listening the consequences of Eugen's decision.

@freemo@social.cleverlibre.org
Sp I wrote a pretty lengthy blog post entitled: Eugen Rochko, CEO of Mastodon, Found to Support Nazi’s Agenda Sadly I wish it was clickbait. You ...
I wish I could say Eugen was better than that... his recent actions suggest he isnt :(
@oligneisti Perhaps it would help if i quote the text of Eugen's email to me, which is the only response he ever made on the matter and refused to discuss further... but it would still require you to "trust" i am quoting faithfully.
I am also not sure if that is legal.

@Elephantidae @freemo I am an example of someone who recently found Qoto from the join site. I think that the issue seems to speak to a serious question as to whether or not Mastodon is a decentralized federation or if from a practical standpoint, it has access determined by one person. And of course, I joined this instance because I felt it best met my interests, but also so I could interact with others in different instances.
Succumbing to the strategy of an attack by nefarious agents doesn't make Mastodon a safe or a welcoming place. All instances ought to see that as a vulnerability that needs to be combated.
Can you give a specific example of something I said that could be linked to but wasnt? I'll be happy to try to dig up relevant links to any points where such a link exists.
Not sure what you mean by that.. which link am I showing you vs ones I'm telling you?
Funny coming from one of the instances where Eugen insists we have to defederate from if we want to be listed... but ok...
Im not sure i follow... The links seem clear to me, please let me know how i might carify
snow engaged in disinformation to get us delisted/defederated -> instances bought the ruse -> Eugen knew of Snows agenda -> since the agenda was working eugen caved to the intended agenda to remain popular.
what am I missing?
There is a bit of a score to settle I suppose... He knew about the misinformation campaign and capitulated to it out of popularity rather than doing what is right. In the process hurting the reputation and standing of the serrver.
Sure it does, it is part of a long chain of events.. Snow created a campaign of misinformation, Eugen knew about it and despite this caved to said campaign because it worked and was popular.. they are directly related.
