@doot @freemo Looks like it didn't last. I just checked https://qoto.org/about/more#rules and the current rule says "hate-based racism, sexism, and other hateful speech [will get you banned] but generally unpopular opinions voiced respectfully will be fine".
I want to ask what "unpopular opinions" are important enough to warrant an explicit whitelisting here but also vile enough that someone might reasonably have assumed "no hate speech" bans them, but I already know the answer will be "tHe tRaNs dEbAtE"
@andrewt @doot @freemo The "Unpopular opinions are ok" bit was copied from qoto to UFoI (both started by the same person-Freemo) but was removed from the latter after instances started leaving the day or two old UFoI (it "launched" with 19 instances, it was 13 before they decided to hide the "members list"). Qoto still has it.
@rbairwell @doot @freemo Ah right. tbqh I have not been modelling qoto and ufoi as meaningfully separate entities, like i know there's a distinction there in theory but not one that i feel i need to care about as an outsider
🇳🇱
No we removed it sometime before any instances left.
Wrt qoto are yiu suggestion an instance must suspend anyone with an unpopular opinion? This seems like such a weird thing to get hung up on when we clearly and explicitly ban for derogatory towards marginalized people.
