I am very pleased to see @georgetakei is having a good time here. After the nonsense that went down with wil wheaton its really nice to see him welcomed.
@georgetakei Glad to see you arrived safely.
@admitsWrongIfProven I think you took the best approach possible. I dont want them to feel attacked.
@admitsWrongIfProven I have not been cc'ed on any emails yet. So please, help out, thanks.
@BE I know right.. like "the moderators vote to any changes in our rules" is somehow the same as saying 'we love child porn"... like come the fuck on...

The idea that having a process, as you stated, is "squirrelly" seems like madness to the scientific brain. If there were a great answer to this then we probably wouldn't have so many crises that scientists understand and the non-scientists do not in the world.
I don't envy your position of trying to explain your positions all of the time to other people.

This sounds like something I talk about a lot, actually. Scientists, generally speaking, will have a method on how to do things. We're used to SOPs and process is often our thing.
The majority of the world doesn't think like that. If your instant and immediate reaction isn't what they want, then you're automatically against them.
I'm not going to write a novel, but look at how the non-scientists in the world handle information on things like COVID or climate change. If it changes, it's inherently bad in their opinion. Only the first opinion they heard matters, to a large number of people, and they'll go to the grave believing it.
TLDR; scientists and non-scientists often struggle with communication. Thank you for coming to my TED talk :)
@BE very valid points for sure.
@quesoloAna send an email to the email mentioning in the post I quote... it may help.
Ahh I see, so no reason to think it had to do with the leadership at mastodon.
A Complaint About Mastodon Signup
@bleushift What do you mean by "frequently blocked"... we have, in fact one of the biggest footprints in the fediverse (most connected to other servers).. we are in the top 20.. the only instances that block us are ones with block lists a mile long and dont federate with even mastodon.social in many cases.
@_foxaru The people who run that can be reached at hello@joinmastodon.org
My impression is a few people trying to dig up dirt about us fabricated/twisted/exaggerated things and tried to convince them to take us down.
They have a history of negligence where they will take servers off without doing due diligence or even contacting the server to discussed with them. We were taken off twice and both times they reinstated us and both times itt was because they never bothered to act responsibility by reaching out to us or investigating the situation first.
So my guess is itts more negligence than direct animosity.
Oh dont worry I am not upset with you. I appreciate you bringing it to our attention.
What made you think the CSAM thing was the reason? Are you assuming or did you see some conversation with the mastodon leadership?

It's easier to smack down an instance you are kinda jealous of rather than bother with things like checking facts so long as you have an excuse to do so. God forbid anyone get confused with the facts.
I can use both phrases just to make it extra clear
