Qoto.org blocking, genocide mention 

@matias@oslo.town

People would think so, wouldn't they? But strangely enough the amount of bad users Qoto attracts is very low. And we suspect it will be even lower now, now that we found a better term for what Qoto actually stands for: Academic Freedom instead of Free Speech. We are still the same, just that we reduced the chances of people misinterpreting the wording as 'ha, we can talk shit yay'.

I don't recall those Russian war propaganda users, that's unfortunate and everybody makes mistakes, even us. But please keep on reporting the bad actors, we do look at reports and try to judge carefully whether it breaks our rules or not.
It is certainly possible that some might skirt the lines and still fall within our rules while your rulings might be stricter. In that case I recommend to block them. But we do tell our users to respect others.

It's fine that other instances block those bad actors. Qoto just has their own way. If you don't feel like watching all that content and don't want to bother with block lists yourself, then you have plenty of other instances to choose from, nothing wrong with that.

Everybody who joins Qoto knows what they signed up for. We have provided links to the Fediblock block list that they can import in their own accounts. So far all our users are supportive of the path Qoto has chosen, so there certainly is a demand for it.

And if Qoto users shares nazi-, racist-, and pedo-content, they will be suspended. Our house rules are blatantly clear about this. Hate speech is not allowed within our instance.

*Reads up the thread a little*
It's not a Qoto-only feature, by the way. And it is only visible for the one making the note.

@freemo
Just go to the profile page within the Qoto interface? Should be right above any description.

@freemo
What kind of notes we talkin' about?

Your personal notes on each user via their profile page?

@hvangalen Oh, kom je dan in de buurt alsof je een paparazzi bent? ;)

Sneaky sneaky, en daarna ENORM IN THEIR FACE? ;)

@hvangalen Dit katje ziet er wat ge-ergerd uit vanuit deze hoek. ;)

Suicide mention, ableism 

@FediThing

You do realize that if it was an actual QOTO user saying this he'd be suspended immediately, right?

We do NOT tolerate this kind of behavior.

@tomfinley@wptoots.social
This user has been suspended already because of his non-respectful behavior.

You're condemning a whole instance of nerds and scientists for a few who already are taken care of.

Don't be so hasty in your judgment, it doesn't suit you or anyone else for that matter.

I'm not really sure what not blocking other instances has to do with our internal moderation.

If you see an user of ours getting out of bounds, please feel free to report them. We've already suspended a few who were not respecting other people's boundaries.

@FediThing

@admitsWrongIfProven You are interacting with people, I see your name here and there regularly. For some that's enough reason. :)

Granted, it'd be easier if you have an avatar so you can be told apart from all the other new people. :D

@peterdrake Oh Wingspan. Buddy of mine plays that too with his boardgame group whenever he gets a chance. :) I have the digital game of it, still need to figure it out but keep getting distracted. (My gaming backlog is huge at this point)

@JonKramer
Can confirm. Shearing also gives more wool than just killing them. And when they live on grass blocks, they replenish their wool after eating grass (block turns to dirt).

Oh man, motion sickness? I suffer that too. Minecraft, however, I can stomach with a few tricks: Head bobbing OFF! (whoever has that on as default is a sadist), and FOV (field of view) to at least 90. It helps for me.

But there are some other games that is Minecraft-ish that I can't play despite messing with settings so I feel your pain. :blobsad:
