@ypc_bunsen just to add: in the end I am staying on QOTO for the tech features I value. Works for me. And thanks to @freemo for the supporting admin and devel work.

@HIprocessor My very first post I ever did on mastodon 5 years ago is here:

qoto.org/@freemo/1003358395344

Its an astrophotography picture I took of the Trapezium (the core of the blue part of this picture).

@ypc_bunsen What policy of free speech are you talking about? Our ToC is here, it doesnt say anything about free speech.

qoto.org/about/more

We have very specific rules, and that includes this part of our ToC:

> ... hate-based speech such as sexist, racist, or homophobic speech will not be tolerated, be kind to each other.
>
> QOTO aims to provide a community where our users do not fear being punished for their personal opinions. We do not allow people to disseminate ideologies that are abusive or violent towards others. Demonstrating support for or defending ideologies known to be violent or hateful is a bannable offense. This includes, but is not limited to: racial supremacy, anti-LGBTQ or anti-cis-gender/anti-straight, pro-genocide, child abuse or child pornography, etc. While we recognize questions and conversation regarding these topics are essential for a STEM community, in general, doing so in bad faith will result in immediate expulsion.

@farooqkz

yea i try to review everyones posts even here as best I can... the other mods are around when im not...

@obi

@farooqkz

I am happy to look into a writefreely instance. I might set one up regardless of word count here.

@obi

@farooqkz My opinion is simple... read more hides most of it.. if its abused youll get in trouble, be responsible.. but it cant be abused because read more hodes it. And I find someone **trying** to abuse it their data gets wiped.

@Romaq You want to read a very early first draft I have of a solution?

@dusnm My solution is **not** to convince anyone not to use defederation.. so your making a lot of assumptions about my intent here.

You might want to ask yourself, why do yo already find yourself disagreeing with me when I havent even made my proposal public yet?

@dusnm Unwanted by many.. by my judgement the majority in fact, at least based on how im seeing the conversation go.

@chiclet

I actually answer your questions and provide proof here. As you can see there is clear proof the only changes to our moderation policy were increased protections for the LGBTQ and the removal of the term "free speech".

@luca @Gargron @serenebabe @ceoln @realcaseyrollins

@freemo @kev @da5nsy @mike

Thank you for this update, I am planning to stay here on qoto,

If need be I can block people / servers who support or who are posting inappropriate content easy enough

What I have seen has NOT originated from Qoto, which makes it far easier to block the server it does originate on.

@JustYourBud well for what it is worth i am working on a solution... not sure if it will be adopted but if it is then it may solve this whole issue.

@kev

For those who arent aware of the full context here is the article that he is refering to:

jeffreyfreeman.me/eugen-rochko

It explains the drama and our stance
