So would seem that recently Sunbeamcity.com has stated that their administrative position is to support and protect doxxing when they deem it appropriate.

This puts people at real danger especially considering the poor reputation the person doing the doxxing has (a laundry list of false accusations with no evidence).

The question I want to ask, should the QOTO policy be updated t include a clause where we defederate from any instance that supports doxxing?

Vote if you'd like but ultimately the comments will decide where I stand on the issue.

@freemo You'll have to defederate from me if so 😭

If people make their info public, they don't get to cry that it isn't private, that's how I see it.

@Ox That's the risk you take. @freemo

@Ox I don't really know the drama, but the Internet is not a place free from risk and/or responsibility, and we shouldn't pretend that it is. All that'll do is desensitize users. @freemo

@Coomer

The risks are rea, and generally i agree if you make some information public that on you. But we are talking about someone actively trying to hack their accounts to get private information then disseminate that to others. Yes people should be aware it happens, but I feel that goes beyond free speech.

@Ox

@Ox I don't think of administration in terms of abstracts like "free speech" I think of the experience I'd want to have as a user and implement that. In the case of this instance, the direction I'm going rn is antispam. That's the only legal content I plan to target insofar as moderation goes. I put responsibility beyond that on the user, they can post unlisted or block users from that instance if they like, it's not my job, I wouldn't expect any admin to protect me from security risks .@freemo
