I'm interested in being just not civil, but excellent in interacting with others of different viewpoints in an online world where we can so viciously defend our echo chambers and be so dismissive of other perspectives.
Because this is less and less possible here, I'm largely offline and am not sure if I'll be returning. It was fun back when civility was a trend on qoto.

@MarkHalperin: "An email I just got from a very smart person, who is now smarter, unfortunately because of the assassination of Charlie Kirk:
'I used to think of Trump Derangement Syndrome as just people losing their minds about him specifically and knee jerk hating everything he said or did or enacted. But I now realize that Trump Derangement Syndrome has made people lose their ability to tell the difference between right and wrong.'”

@benshapiro: “What’s going to make Charlie—correctly—a free speech martyr is that he was literally in the middle of using words to talk about vital issues when he was shot to death.
He died doing the thing America was supposed to be about.”

@IMAO_: "A big difference with political assassinations over school shootings is that you usually don't have a lot of people saying how great the school shooter was (like happened with Luigi Mangione) or had people saying how much the victims deserved it. [...]
@garyackerman Fascinating. I always hear it as almost the opposite: because everything you do affects everyone else, having clear boundaries around who does what is essential; and if you're going to change into someone else's lane, use your turn signal - let them know, to prevent collisions.
A few excerpts from #qoto terms:
Be respectful, and don't harass other Fediverse users. Unpopular opinions are acceptable, hate-speech is not.
We won’t censor unpopular ideas and statements and welcome people from across the political spectrum, but 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.
