It looks like scholar.social is starting to engage in doxxing too.
Considering they also have a history of doxxing and promoting violence I'd say you might be better off...

@frayoshi@qoto.org @trinsec@qoto.org @freemo@qoto.org wow that was rude af. another reason why fedi would be better if everyone was on their own personal instance
@johnabs one day ill play with hg just for shits and giggles.. i doubt i will ever adopt it because i work with teams, and if im in a team i gotta use what people know and prefer.
@magicaltrout We could easily handle 10x our user base, we have some pretty beefy servers.
It takes a special level of toxicity to block someone for politely approaching you and trying to mend fences and address concerns... What are ya gonna do though, my letter to them could not have been more respectful. The way I see when an instance is this level of toxicity its probably best they blocked you.

I wouldnt bet on it.. they even block mastadon.social now, their block list is a mile long.
@EubieDrew scholar.social is actually one that wont be changing their toon anytime soon. They were exceedingly vile and in fact the reason QOTO exists at all.
I started my career there and it was my first account. I saw the admin banning en mass LGBTQ members (I joined because they boasted LGBTQ friendly stance).. I found out it was because those members were following bad-actors, though they were doing it to monitor for doxxing and calls to violence so they could warn their community.
Anyway when I saw this I started QOTO as a truly LGBTQ friendly place that would protect them rather than punish the victims. The users from there and other instances around the fediverse flocked to QOTO and we very quickly exceeded the size of the scholar instance and others and became one of the largest, LGBTQ friendly and free speech instances on the fediverse. Since then we have grown to be one of the largest non-general instances onn the whole network.
Anyway the owner of the scholar instance was furious and of course banned me and labeled me a nazi for doing it. He also banned our instance so he could not only ban his members but prevent them from easily migrating over to here...
I tried reaching out to him years ago to make peace but he was very aggressive and abusive and the very idea that I should date to email him.
So yea.... very toxic instance and no hope of recovering that sadly.
Seems we are still in a minor surge right now.. just checked and current influx is about 2x the normal background rate...
@admitsWrongIfProven you think mastodon is too good to be true?
