Itts such a shame QOTO is the only place on the internet I've ever known that has a complete lack of toxicity, where everyone is kind to both eachother, and almost always to others....
Yet here we are, drama from the outside :(
@Romaq strange that
@pj @freemo In other words... people! Nah, I get what you are saying. From the practical perspective of following the evidence, how is one to tell the difference between a flat-earther, a Trump Supporter, and the tribalism evident in "if you don't 100% agree with me and do as I say, you are the enemy?"
The majority is not like that. We all have our own quirks, but at the end I think most of us will enjoy in a nice "heated" exchange around the same table with a glass of something in their hand.
It is just that a limited number of the same individuals that don't like to be questioned, most often than not, have also the urge to tell others what (how) they should think.
In my experience, they are all sooner or later "cancelled" just as a matter natural progression of things around the table because they are boring.
@pj @freemo Power attracts the corruptible. Power attracts the people who behave this way. So that noisy 20% tend to dominate the other 80% any way they can. And right now that limited number of individuals are trying to kill off qoto.org which, to me, seems the most sane in this mess simply for not being sufficiently "Antifa" or "woke" or whatever the buzz-word of the week is.
@freemo The (short term) solution lies in how nice a place qoto is. Sure, it is important that you keep an eye on this generally, but when where is a discussion, you will not be alone. Because there are reasonable and nice people here.
So you do not need to dwell on it and play it on repeat in your head. Check what is happening sometimes, sure. But rely on the rest of us to deal with this together. You do not need to be always-on.
@freemo I'm not really into dramas but isolate thousands of people from an instance should not be taken lightly. I know we can create a user somewhere else, but that doesn't seem to be the point.
I guess these are growing pains... But I'm too new to this to opinate much more 😅
@freemo
Hope your

turns

For you 🌻

@freemo you can't reason with some people, it just drains your energy and isn't worth it. don't get wound up by it! 
it's interesting that the people who flamed me for my opinions were almost universally on the "progressive" instances with huge blocklists. people on more open instances usually just mute or block and go on with their life.
@freemo I'm far too new to have a grasp of all the history here, but I struggle to reconcile my experience with the portrayal of this server by some others.
@Spinybadger I have posted photo evidence of some of it, and described hte history in detail... It started by a few evil actors spreading lies.. and lies with no evidence will always spread faster than trutth with evidence
🏳️🌈
@freemo if there are enough toxic people in these instances block
@louiscouture its not an issue with them messaging me or communicating to me.. Its the fact that they are off there spreading explicit lies that are damaging myself and the servers reputation... When i bother to respond with photo evidence and links showing its lies they just call my attempt to communicate at all harassmentt and ignore it....
@freemo I’m surprised how so many people don’t know how feeding fascists works.
@bushgrad i dont think they listen enough to know...
@freemo You are right. So, start listening.

@HATE_NOT_HOPE @freemo That’s interesting. Now Germany is everyone’s train.

"Complete lack of toxicity"

@freemo For some strange reason, people always seem to act like people.
