I am mostly posting from my account right now. I should maybe do it from @QOTO which ive been neglecting...
We are still waiting tto hear on why we are off joinmastodon, I suspect they will reverse the decision as they have in the past.. someone probably made some accusation and no one did due diligence on it.
@khird thanks I appreciate it... sadly trinsec is a bit overwhelmed by the drama lately too so im not sure how active he will be for the next day or two.. we will see how he feels tomorrow.
@jellycrystals im looking into it
@Romaq yea, we never meant free speech tto mean any speech, but people seem to insist thats what we mean... I feel academic freedom might help convey a more accurate principle.
@khird I think thats most of what matters... my see my recent posts on my timeline to get a sense of what im dealing witth... im cracking man.
I have just changed the ToC for #QOTO.. We replaced the phrase "free speech" With the more appropriate principle of "Academic Freedom". We also changed some subtle wording to be more explicit.
In practice our rules have not changed in any meaningful way. I may make some more tweaks soon.
@Zest Thank you.
@nullifidian thanks for that.
@RustyStriker i dont care what people think of me, so much as I care about the consequences to me and my users.
@khird anything you can do to take the stress of my shoulders can help... im reaching a break down point with this drama...
Also i am editing our ToC ill get your input soon but im certain youll like it.
@Gaythia that was stux yea...
@mkb yea ill talk to them...
@gpowerf thank you
@JonKramer It may be past that point, but i am considering rewording our TOS now.
@skobkin thank you
@freemo
Do not waste your time on people who are talking about compassion, but when it is needed from them just laugh in your face making comfy excuses why you doesn't deserve it.
You're making much more for this world and this network than they.
