@Elephantidae fair, yes if he was willing to have a conversation im sure much of this could have been avoided.

@oligneisti

three, assuming we count screenshots of dead links (wince most of the ancient history is now dead). 2 for snow, one for his attempt to get us on fediblock... I am happy to add a few more if you feel that would be helpful. Im sure I could dig up some more links if i search through history enough.

@Gargron @trinsec @khird

@Elephantidae

> Right. But he wasn't doing it because he likes nazis or supports the hatred that they spew and the violence that they promote.

Never said or implied he did. I said he supported their agenda, I also made clear he did so out of popularity and not out of support for the ideology. In fact I even point out int he past he opposed the ideology when it was popular for him to do so.

@oligneisti

Feel free to offer any specific objections that are inaccurate or confusing and ill be happy to help clean up the article.

One sided, absolutely.. no way to really not make it one sided if I'm the author and Eugen refuses to comment despite tons of requests of him from many people for comments.

That said, thats also why I provided links and photo evidence where possible.

@Gargron @trinsec @khird

@Elephantidae Well it isnt that he was "not standing up to a nazi".. This isnt a case of inaction... It took a specific action, directly in line with the agenda of a nazi...

@Elephantidae AS for how it hurt hte community... three ways I can think of.

1) It lends credibility to the Nazi's claims, giving the impression to others QOTO was delisted because the claims against it were true.

2) It significantly reduces our influx of new users. As a specialty instance it is not easy to find new users as a generalist instance might

3) it no longer shows up when trying to connect using the official mastodon app which relies on that list, causing people to have a hard time connecting even if they are already here.

@Elephantidae The Nazi's agenda was to get us defederated and delisted, he knew this was his agenda. He then delisted us as a direct result of that Nazi's campaign, therefore,he satisfied the Nazi and appeased his agenda.

I'd say that makes it quite literally true.

@freemo @Gargron @trinsec @khird Seems like a reasonable point of concern. Sweep bad behavior under the rug rather than publicly point it out and invite a community response?

@mguhlin

So far it has worked in our favor.. about 20 instances have reversed their stance on us and now support us, there have been dozens of emails to eugen asking him to reconsider his stance. We remain one of the most connected and largest instances in the fediverse.

Most likely it wont die, but hopefully thrive.

Doing nothing would have more than likely caused it to die.

That said, if things do start going south and that trend reverses you always have the option to move at any time and take your followers with you.

@Gargron @trinsec @khird

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 can all read it here:

It is the pinnacle of the recent drama. I will also be sharing it on twitter, linking the joinmastodon account there. I tried to include most of the evidence in the article. Hopefully this will have some positive result

@Gargron @trinsec @khird

@radehi

Ahh that is interesting... the search functionality is unmodified from vanilla mastodon, so you will have to file a bug report there. We use their code.

@worldsendless

@radehi

thats not broken, thats intended. free text searches only allow you to search toots you were tagged in. The only time you can search toots you arent tagged in would be hashtags.

@worldsendless

@radehi

I wouldnt could those seperate.. seems like two bugs.. 1) latex rendering 2) new lines in code blocks in markdown

@worldsendless

@radehi

"Spectacularly"? I use it everyday. Only aspect I know that is broken is the codeblocks wrt new lines... what else am I missing?
