@cy@mstdn.io You said it. Qoto isn't rightwing. And you're totally free to argue with @freemo himself. I've done my fair share of arguing with him as well. We've butted heads and we've agreed on things. So long as it's civil, everybody is entitled to their own opinion, right?
@cy@mstdn.io @freemo That said, if you _do_ see anything horrible coming out of qoto, please feel free to report it. Last I checked hate speech still isn't tolerated here.

@trinsec said it perfectly. We arent right wing, we arent left wing. We are just a bunch of people with a lot of opinions and we encourage people sharing their opinions and discussing them no matter where they fall on the political spectrum.
Me personally, I am fairly centrist with a slight left lean.

@Liberonscien @trinsec @freemo @cy@mstdn.io agreed - the science focus is a plus, the population seems to be a sweet spot between too many and too few, and hitting an arbitrary very short limit is annoying - 2k is more what I was hoping for. If I come close to 65k, I hope someone hits me with a tranqilizer dart and drags me back into the enclosure...
@Biggles
Agreed. 65k is crazy

I can add a third reason: **Markdown support!!**
@freemo @trinsec @cy@mstdn.io To be 100% fair - this is no different than IRC was, or twitter, or the rest of Mastodon. Someone runs the server you post on, and they have at least a passing obligation to the community to deal with it when people abuse that hospitality. So - no matter where you are, there's someone who "controls" what you post if that moderation is what you define as "controls".
At least where I'm from - judging people for what they might do is kinda hinky. /shrug
@freemo @trinsec @cy@mstdn.io, aye. I’m an anarcho communist myself.
