@raymondlesley yes that list includes all instances without exceptions, even quite nasty ones
@freemo well done on the article. Despite your obvious anger, you've managed to keep to the facts.
FYI, qoto.org is still listed on https://instances.social
@polymathrobert@mastodon.world
Thts the problem with politician types, you always have to infet the motive a bit.. But consider the facts:
1) he knew very well about snow and his motives
2) his first complain 3was basically "you tried to reach out to people and see if you could mend some fences, and only people who invited the communication
3) something about our federation policy which has not changed in 5 years since we joined the list and which eugen has defended many times
4) he literally said in his email " “I will take a listing down if it risks endangering the reputation of Mastodon”." which strongly shows he was making a decision based off popular opinion and not the ethics of the situation
Thge difference is defamation against me was fabricated by another... in this case it is based off of Eugen's own words and clear implications (he just tried to say it as politically as possible)...
See the following response for what I mean:

@skyblond I dont think so but ill look into it.
Not a white nationalist, never have been. For starters I'm not white, Im native american, second we have actively banned nationalists on our server from the get go. Please stop spreading the lies that Snow tried to spread... i dare you to find one example of what your claiming on my feed.
Here is the blog post if you havent seen the full story.

You missed the fulls tory, it is here: https://jeffreyfreeman.me/eugen-rochko-ceo-of-mastodon-found-to-support-nazis-agenda/
Did you read the post, I provide the evidence, screen shots of the Nazi, a screenshot of the fediblock attempt and even fediblock calling them out... Plenty of more evidence floating around if you need it.
See here if you didnt already: https://jeffreyfreeman.me/eugen-rochko-ceo-of-mastodon-found-to-support-nazis-agenda/
It comes from my blog post, see full story here: https://jeffreyfreeman.me/eugen-rochko-ceo-of-mastodon-found-to-support-nazis-agenda/
You can see the full post here. The cruzx is, we were only ever controversial because of the actions of a Nazi that publicly stated his intention in the first place.

@polymathrobert@mastodon.world
Yes he isnt going to outrighht say he was caving to nazis.. but giving the events i outlined, and every word in my blog is accurate, i think it is quite obvious to anyone that is the case. I provided the facts in the blog so you can judge for yourself.
@arctangent Thank you
@freemo please keep on fighting the good fight. One need not look farther than the events of this past weekend in Colorado Springs to see why.
While he's at it, perhaps Eugen would like to promote an instance for politicians who spread the lies about trans folks grooming children. I hear they're popular in some circles.
For the record here is the full blog post for those interested, complete with screen shots.

@polymathrobert@mastodon.world
Indeed we have taken the beef to twitter and anyone else who will hear...If Eugen refuses to engage in a discussion he will be called out.

@polymathrobert@mastodon.world
So because re: #1 i wanted the title to be as honest as possible I changed it to be more fair with less chance of misinterpritation it "smells like shit"?
As to #2 what I said (*and what was left out of that screenshot) is that we have never had to address CSAM before so we didnt have it in our policy. All changes to our policy require a moderator vote. Several minutes after that question was asked I held a moderator vote and added the CSAM policy to our ToC, which I attached here.
My suggestion, spread this story to journalists and lets get some attention to it..
Here is the list of journalists on the fedi:
Here is the story:
Eugen Rochko, CEO of Mastodon, Caves to Nazi's Agenda

You can also boost or link them this toot

I think what we really need to do is get journalists to pick up on this story....
