Ahh my first name was mispelled. No worries, thanks for the email.
@WhatYouMcCallit sure, just link them to qoto.org, they can sign up on the home page. You can also go intto your setttings and generate a invite link if you wish (but witth open registration it is kinda pointless).
Yea, we are **very** strongly pro LGBTQ+ and our moderation policies and practices have always reflectred that.
The irony is that it is explicitly our protectionn of the LGBTQ community that lead to a lot of the misinformation about us spreading in the first place.
See this post:
I am very pleased to see @georgetakei is having a good time here. After the nonsense that went down with wil wheaton its really nice to see him welcomed.
@georgetakei Glad to see you arrived safely.
@admitsWrongIfProven I think you took the best approach possible. I dont want them to feel attacked.
@admitsWrongIfProven I have not been cc'ed on any emails yet. So please, help out, thanks.
@BE I know right.. like "the moderators vote to any changes in our rules" is somehow the same as saying 'we love child porn"... like come the fuck on...

The idea that having a process, as you stated, is "squirrelly" seems like madness to the scientific brain. If there were a great answer to this then we probably wouldn't have so many crises that scientists understand and the non-scientists do not in the world.
I don't envy your position of trying to explain your positions all of the time to other people.

This sounds like something I talk about a lot, actually. Scientists, generally speaking, will have a method on how to do things. We're used to SOPs and process is often our thing.
The majority of the world doesn't think like that. If your instant and immediate reaction isn't what they want, then you're automatically against them.
I'm not going to write a novel, but look at how the non-scientists in the world handle information on things like COVID or climate change. If it changes, it's inherently bad in their opinion. Only the first opinion they heard matters, to a large number of people, and they'll go to the grave believing it.
TLDR; scientists and non-scientists often struggle with communication. Thank you for coming to my TED talk :)
@BE very valid points for sure.
@quesoloAna send an email to the email mentioning in the post I quote... it may help.
Ahh I see, so no reason to think it had to do with the leadership at mastodon.
A Complaint About Mastodon Signup
@bleushift What do you mean by "frequently blocked"... we have, in fact one of the biggest footprints in the fediverse (most connected to other servers).. we are in the top 20.. the only instances that block us are ones with block lists a mile long and dont federate with even mastodon.social in many cases.
