Qoto.org blocking, genocide mention
Qoto.org says it has zero tolerance for hatred, but also "does not currently block any Fediverse servers".
I messaged Qoto admin to ask whether they would block servers that incited genocide. Admin replied Qoto would not block such servers.
I asked about the danger of radicalisation, and they said "(people) aren't going to read some random thing on the internet and turn bad. It just doesn't happen."
Have blocked qoto.org, would encourage others to do same.

@FediThing I would prefer a server that doesn't limit my access to the fediverse so I can decide for myself what I need to personally block. I support your choice to block the entire instance, but I'm considering migrating there based on your endorsement. Your choice would lump me in with everything you deem degenerate simply because I don't trust authority. This is how the fediverse collapses, under the weight of the majority.

@FediThing look at the public posts. I don't see any hatred. I do see a few people feeling personally victimized by fedifascists.

@TrismegistusMx idk, the admin going off on @FediThing seems toxic af, as well as claiming Eugen’s siding with Nazis (plainly one hell of a stretch). Other than the admin, the other users seem mostly fine from a quick public timeline scroll, but that instance’s federated timeline is gonna be a mess of alt-right trash. Anyone on legit fascist instances are also gonna be able to harass you as well.
I wouldn’t recommend joining unless that’s the stuff you so badly wanna see, and if you want to see alt-right trash, be careful because doomscrolling is horrible for mental health. It’s done a number on me. That’s one of the main reasons I’m here.
But then again you just called people who don’t wanna be harassed “fedifascists” so like, idk where your priorities lie. That’s fucked bro.

@Eris
As someone from qoto.org, no, the federated timeline is not an alt right celebration... It is a mess(as i suspect with all big instances), but not alt right at all(and if you see something you consider harmful, you can simply block said instance/account)
