F9or those who havent seen it yet this is the article that everyone is yelling at each other over across the #fediverse
https://jeffreyfreeman.me/eugen-rochko-ceo-of-mastodon-found-to-support-nazis-agenda/
@freemo I have some empathy for the situation Eugen finds himself in, but caving to Nazis is never a good idea (not to mention, never the ethical choice).
@arinbasu @freemo The reason this matters is that the joinmastodon list is not itself federated, but it is what people encounter when they wish to join.
I would not have found it if I had joined a few days later.
And I wouldn’t have been happy with any of the choices I was presented with. That’s not good for the #fediverse, and it’s not good for people fleeing Twitter. Often #qoto is exactly the right place for them.
@arinbasu @freemo My promoting #qoto on Twitter is one way to bypass the gatekeeping, and I encourage others to do so as well.
An alternate curated list would also be possible, but a lot of work, and you’d have to find a way to get it front of people who just know “mastodon” and type it into their search bar.
@arinbasu @freemo (I have plugged qoto on Twitter, and I plan to do so again soon).
