* When you discover your Instance is blocked. *
After creating a new blog post, I prepare text for announcing it. This is posted at my main instance, and later I visit other accounts, search for that Status URL, and boost it from there.
In one case, I could not find the status on that normal search. Odd. What is going on?
A search for my user profile at Qoto did not bring ANY results either. It dawned on me that something was amiss...

The old "censorship" discussion.
Or "frea speach" if you prefer.
The latter I remember from more than a decade ago fighting spammers.
Who, in their opinion, were denied their right to "frea speach" if their spam was blocked by others than the end user.
This time it's the fascists crocodile tears.
Even worse looking at than the spammer's.
To make it short: It is a collective responsibility to deny fascists a public platform.
End of any discussion.
Even only instances blocking this brown shit is not enough in my opinion.
Like spammers, they should be kicked out by any hoster, ISP or where else on the net.
End note:
qoto.org is found as "good" on a list sorted as "good"/"Not bad"/"Bad" together with freespeechextremist.com and other shitty instances. The list is made by brownshits themselves.
Thank you IM -- I am working those issues and planning a Blog post, bringing my Fediverse Reporter back to light.
It had been months, but you brought back a detailed post I will be using in this new project.
Cheers and thank you!
