Sadly thats the usual liberal taint. For some reason they think they get brownie points everytime they find something to be offended by.
LOL I did know about the freenode exodus.. didnt know about the libera redirect though.
Seems some of the freenode chat rooms did move to matrix though which im happy about.
I had a nick whose created date was close to the creation of freednode itself. Once they wiped my nick there (I was very pissed) I had no reason to go back.
Yea I am strongly anti-sexist but you wont hear me virtue signaling that unless and until I see some legit sexism going down that needs calling out. I dont like the term feminism though as it has been corrupted by sexist people who are more pro-female than anti-sexism.
Not sure what this is in reference to. But if they need a server to host a room they are welcome to use QOTOs.
Female ones too.
My best friend is a feminist and we have some pretty dark sexual humor, sometimes might even reference rape or something completely inappropriate to a PC person... yet just yesterday she posted a movie of a woman overhearing some guys tell nasty jokes to each other as if it was a travesty.. I just said to her "we joke like this to each other all the time" and her response was "yea but I'd never do it in public"
Yes the irony is most of the PC shit people call out is the same stuff they will do or say in private with their best friend.
People get quite aggressively offended when you talk and interact with them as you would a friend, ironic huh?
@realcaseyrollins @thor I thought I felt a disturbance in the force, as if millions of incels everywhere suddenly cried out in pain!
Someone is stirring the pot you say? How are me and @thor not friends? Thats my favorite past time!
Here are some rooms you can join from the QOTO matrix server that have 100 or more users in it that I particularly enjoy:
#freenode_##agi:matrix.org
##cs:matrix.org
#physics:matrix.org
#Syncleus_aparapi:gitter.im
#Europe:matrix.org
#Nederland:matrix.org
#Occultism:matrix.org
@catsnkittens Awww I'ms o sorry. If the pictures are any indication he had 11 months of love and happiness.
We are happy to announce a new QOTO service, our brand new matrix server!
Registration is open to everyone.
To either login or register a new account use any compatible Matrix/Riot client (like https://app.element.io/ ). When doing so you will have to set the home server to "matrix.qoto.org" (it is usually set to matrix.org). However keep in mind once logged in your username will be @user:qoto.org, as the matrix.* prefix is dropped. Similarly any rooms you create will be #room:qoto.org.
The best part is this service is decentralized and federated so you can join any matrix room on any other server. Even cooler you can join rooms on servers that arent federated at all like IRC or gitter.im. So you really can connect to almost any chat server out there all from one identity and server.
**NOTE**: We will also be bringing up a client, likely the same client run at app.element.io, for the added security. It wont change anything and you can switch clients once we have that up if you want. You can also download the client and use it as a desktop app.

@sergeantcat It seemed high budget for a foreign film. That said even if it didnt have the whole FoS take it was still kinda bleh.
So I just watched a Russian movie, their take on Batman called "Major grom: plague doctor". The funny thing is the antagonist of the whole movie is this evil dude who is extremely pro-freedom of speech and is a significant point in the plot.
Leave it to Russia to basically have a whole movie to center around why freedom of speech is evil.
@angelobottone I did, not a convincing argument. The morality is clear here and weak arguments from someone, UN affiliated or not, isnt likely to change that.
