Remember: qoto dot org is a "Free speech" instance that refuses to defederate the nasty and horrible and hate speech side of the fediverse.

You should block them.

Your admin should fediblock them.

Hi Aurynn, have you had a chat with
@freemo

about their strategy? They seem to have a consistent position and explanation on what they do and how do they deal with servers, AFAIR in their about page:

qoto.org/about/more

It’s a #STEM focused server. As qoto.org has a potential for encouraging serious science-based and academic discussions, so there can be unintended consequences of blocking qoto on the basis of their policy of defed.

Just a thought I wanted to share with you.

Honestly I dont know where they get this nonsense from... We have explained why we dont defederate, and it is at the request of the LGBTQ community here and for their physical safety, I will not compromise on that. I outline that here:

qoto.org/@freemo/1093198179438

As for being nasty and horrible hate speech side of the fediverse, we have pretty aggressive and explicit anti-hate speech rules here. Its no surprise when people throw around that lie about us when asked to point out a single example of hate speech on our server they are unable to find even a single instance of it.
