60-120 boots - too many boosts, i want off of mr bone's wild ride
120+ boosts - uh oh. oh no. no thank you

@emi

It is kind of gross that I only see about 30 boosts on a science server that blocks pretty much no one.

Which means a free speech server, in which most of its members have a PhD or are working on one, and is not responsible for hate speech as a rule, is being blocked by maybe 4/5ths of fedi.

Something is sadly broken with the fediverse, or human psychology. :/

@jmw150 @2ck from what I recall, the admin has only blocked 2 servers for deliberately attacking qoto-specific users. Generally speaking, any and all 'bad and/or malicious content' is readily viewable and accessible. That's basically it- don't attack qoto users and your server doesn't get blocked.
