Brings memories of sysops battling it our on our local FidoNet network!!

Time goes on, humanity continues.

Fediverse is indeed quite similar to the wonderful pioneer that Fidonet was. Way before internet was accessible to the masses.

Ok, thank you. I will look if I can't think of something more productive to do than see what the riff raff scuttle butt is all about. LOL... 😜

@IntegralDuChemin Tell me, what vintage machines do you enjoy these days?

@IntegralDuChemin I think that is good and sensible -- I have done it in the past as well.

Add the seasonal Blahs of Winter in the Northern Latitudes and it's hard to read news and see so many misdeeds and creepy men in power situations.

Disheartening. I am glad to have found the fediverse and have so many interesting things to discover, learn, try out.

I love computers, including Vintage ones -- can't trow away a nice piece of hardware, so they proliferate here. Bicycles, same way.

I would like to see more of them, maybe you can find and DM me some links later?

We have had great conversations in the Federated feeds, and your story telling has inspired me, as you know.

I am also present in different instances, including Todon which is aligned with my personal political beliefs.

I am willing to listen and learn, but what I have seen in this thread is simply poorly done mud-slinging.

@coldacid Thank you, the arguments I have seen have been emotional mostly.

But still is sad to see this happening.

Is that a problem?

When someone comes out attacking our home instance, a project we believe and work hard for, with a screenshot and a series of one liners on mobile phone, probably?

Expect a reply, I would imagine.

You need to see a specific post in this thread, below here, as its a serious accusation.

Instance Block Recommendation 

@DissidentKitty@radical.town

To come out and advocate for an instance ban is regrettable, though.

Why not fight the real fights? there are places which harbour nasty people of various kinds. I would love to see your positioning about them.

If you care to see it, I wrote a long outline of my personal beliefs as an staff member in online communities, which I have been, in various places, over the years.

See it here, if interested: write.tedomum.net/rgx/qoto-mod

I don't see what the occupation of a staff member as a entrepreneur has any relation with your requesting an instance ban.

Which in our federated space, you are free to propose, of course. And it seems you do have a number of sympathetic responses.

I have personally blocked a whole instance for political reasons, in my personal user account; which thankfully is a great feature, available to ALL users in the fediverse.

I just came across a post by someone who spouses De-Federation of QOTO.org -- and has simply posted a snapshot of one of our pages, without a word, to support their case.

I stumbled upon a reply in that thread by sheer accident, in the Home feeds.

If anyone is interested, it is here : radical.town/@DissidentKitty/1

The post is Pinned at the top of DissidentKitty's user profile.

A number of users are posting supporting her views, a few disagree.

@DissidentKitty@radical.town is the author of the request.

re: Instance Block Recommendation 

@mewmew

Nice to see someone understands. Thanks mewmew.

Now reading this whole thread, and it seems people have the idea there's no moderation at our instance. I assure you there is, I just joined the staff and have already spotted and stopped various problems.

I personally do NOT support offensive posting as 'free speech'; not being American, I have a different view of the subject. I would not get so involved and volunteered to help if the instance was a cess pit like some here imply.

@requrious@mastodon.social @DissidentKitty@radical.town I am glad t ojust have seen the response above to the OP. I am a staff member, Moderator at QOTO.org, and can assure you it is a civilized place.

Just come by and look. @freemo is our admin and the author of the About This Server you snapshotted and post without any words justifying a instance ban.

Lame, if I may say so. Come by and take a look.

@micrackbiron @wizard IE is ugly, but MS Edge is not bad at all. Was sad to see them give up on EdgeHTML engine and join the Chromium band.

Would have been nice to support Firefox, now my browser of choice. No Chrome in my machines.
