I just got an official response from mastodon.social over someone from bofa trying to get us silenced for being free speech oriented.
I got an official response from the moderators over there and told #QOTO will NOT be silenced. They did not find any justification for the report.
@freemo I'm not familiar with this matter at all. Can I ask what bofa is?
bofa.lol is a mastodon instance.
And I quote their site "Where the bofa.lol roam. A refuge for shitposting leftist birdsite exiles. Home of the Fightin' Phone Weasels."
Loud emphasis on "shitposting"
@commandelicious @hashtaggrammar @freemo I have trouble understanding people who want to silence differing opinions because it makes them uncomfortable.
Personally, I'd rather know where people stand in relation to myself. It allows dialogue. Gotta face that cognitive dissidence someday.
@Surasanji @hashtaggrammar @freemo
goto is nearly pitch perfect, good instance to be in but still has people that make me personally angry. (To explain why I hopped instances)
It's not qotos fault that I am weak and angry 8)
@commandelicious
Yea I think I know the people you are refering to as well. While they tend to be polite, they make me feel the same way. Part of what I want to do here is instead of exiling people with opinions we dont like to try to build a bridge and to make them more receptive to why their ideas are harmful.
But I understand why they may bother you. I dont think creating an echo chamber of people with just opinions we like is a good answer either.
For me personally at least this is the purpose of the mute function.
