Proof that the new "fediblock" on the wiki run by Paula intentionally suppresses counter-evidence and proof towards block entries. Despite the fact that I provided tons of proof that show the "evidence" provided for a block against QOTO is false they refuse to updatte the block with the additional evidence and effectively suppresses countner evidence.

This is why there needs to be Due process like im trying to build with the and not just one dictator named paula cherry picking what evidence she thinks is valid and blocking the rest.

Here is a link to the discussion if you want to see it first hand (screen shots included). I highly recommend everyone leave a comment expressing your concerns for visibility:

> This is why there needs to be Due process

There is no due process in heresy trials. You are guilty just by being accused.

@teknomunk Yup, which is exactly the sort of toxicity the will hopefully remedy.

@freemo @teknomunk he thinks dragons can be appeased, but they can only be stabbed.

@freemo You make “free speech” instance, then everybody start block you.. LOL…

Do they means “free spech” is anything but not right wing post, haha?

@al1r4d We arent a free speech instance... People just make up whatever they want to defame someone, really doesnt matter if there is a basis in reality for it or not.

@freemo so much time wasted on petty authoritarians thinking they own fedi under the guise of "helping". This is why blocklists are crap

@Corfiot The original fediblock list wasnt so bad because it had some semblence of transparency and due process. Evidence from all sides as considered and preseved in merge requests and any entry added had **all** evidence attached to it so instance admins could decide for themselves... Dictators named paula trying to do their own list is highly problematic as can be seen here.

@freemo Each instance has its own character and attracts different trolls. I guess if lists allow for admins to cherry pick it's better but I'm opposed to pre-emptive blocks on principle. Good luck with this, we're routing for ya

@Corfiot Thanks, have you checked out the UFoI, it is gaining a lot of momentum, we have a repo going, a group, and a matrix room with discussions.

@freemo I went the single user instance way and I can safely divert all such issues to /dev/null with abandon and, occasionally, glee

@Corfiot Doesnt stop you from being defederated by the majority of the fediverse sadly... though it is admitidly easier to ignore when they do :)

@freemo
These safelists are a synonym for blue checkmarks: verified and non-verified instances. Elitism - protectionism. But to each their own.

If they defederate me I can always turn this off, walk away and go have a few beers. I don't need fedi to live.

Or I can talk with people who actually curate their timelines or run their own instances. I don't need many, 5-6 people are enough for a party.

@freemo The listmaker does not listen to reason at all. She closed the wiki Discussion and even after being proven wrong, instead of removing Qoto from the table she created a separate table for it.
