The error I see here is in what is assumed to be masculine in the first place. It seems to mix up the idea of "masculinity" vs what a traditional male role is.. to me they are not at all the same. Being the sole financial provider in a home is not, for example, a show of masculinity.

@realcaseyrollins

Yes the post, once he explained it, was not something against our rules. It wasnt an issue. The only issue he created was not identifying as a STEM professional, which was really unrelated tot he content of the post and something we ask of everyone who doesnt appear to have a STEM leaning in their posts.

@realcaseyrollins

Agreed

Apparently. Normally I wouldnt mind but the dude was unnecessarily hostile as well. He is out until he cooperates, I gave him my email.

@khird @arteteco @p0l6rb36r

@p0l6rb36r

well there is one way I can prove to you that I am an admin, I can suspend your account.

You can reach me via e-mail if youd like to continue this conversation and I can always reinstate your account should you wish to verify you are a STEM professional.

@arteteco @Sphinx @khird

@p0l6rb36r

Well you are not on mastodon social are you, look at the address bar you are talking from a qoto.org account.

@arteteco @Sphinx @khird

@p0l6rb36r

What? that isnt even a link to our website. Not sure what that screenshot has to do with us, its a totally different domain.

@arteteco @Sphinx @khird

@p0l6rb36r

That doesnt answer my question at all.. "Production dude" is not an area of STEM study. If you are unwilling to give a proper answer sufficient for me to know what your area of expertise is and confirm you are a STEM professional I will have to ask you to move servers.

@arteteco @Sphinx @khird

@p0l6rb36r Here are the relevant quotes from our rules page: https://qoto.org/about/more

> A Mastodon instance for scholars in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM)

> You must be 16 years or older and a S.T.E.M. student or professional to join our server. Membership is a privilege, not a right.

> The following is the list of QOTO administrators/moderators.

So I will ask one final time, what area of STEM is your expertise in.

@p0l6rb36r It is a stipulation of having an account here, only STEM professionals are allowed as our rules very explicitly state. We ask all users if they are in STEM and what their field is should be notice them posting content with no STEM content over a protracted period. While we do not require you post on STEM or any particular subject we do require you be a professional in STEM. As such if you refuse to acknowledge your vocation then you will not be allowed an account on QOTO, we are not open to the general public.

@p0l6rb36r someone apparently didnt read our rules then. I am listed there along with the other moderators. I also have an admin badge by my name.

Considering you havent reviewed the rules, and completely unrelated to this post, mind if I ask what field you are a STEM professional in?

@p0l6rb36r Never said it did. I asked a question, I didnt make a statement. Carry on.

@p0l6rb36r Your intended purpose/message with this post. What is the intent?

@p0l6rb36r Moderator here, care to give a bit of context?

@gasmaskturtle Do we have a problem here?

@admin suspended, sorry about that.

@admin I actually silenced the user about an hour ago.. let me upgrade that to a suspend, i wanted the user to have a chance to speak up if they werent a bot

@phoenix Its kind of like how they say when a blind person looses their vision their other senses get stronger... Well as an elderly italian aunt/grandmother gets older and looses her vision, hearing, sometimes her wits, her cooking skills just improve to compensate. :)

@Fracton Hi are you a real person posting? are you promoting a commercial service? since this is your first post, andseems to promote a book it seems worth asking.
