I think I found the only post he could have possibly meant by "harassment". I want to post it here for the record, as this was the last communication we had before his server blocked me.

In short he had boosted an inflammatory (and outright lie) about QOTO. It was about one of our features and it lied about how itt worked in order to frame us as privacy violating, despite the feature respecting post privacy.

Since me and David at this point were on very good terms as far as I knew I was personally hurt by this but responded respectfully. I even made sure to do it in private so he didnt feel attacked. Attached our the interactions from me that he considered "harassment", as you can see I went out of my way to be considerate.

A shame he wouldnt post the evidence itself, probably because he knew if he did it would discredit his accusation... really a shame.

@david

@obi Given the magnitude of his accusation I wouldnt bet on it.. but lets hope.

@tonic Thank you, I appreciate that. Sadly I highly doubt anyone will listen and everyone will take his no-evidence accusation over my evidence backed defense... thats how it works... Even you have already left our server over this (and i wish you the best, no hard feelings, but it is an example).

funny how this guy accuses me of harassment and doesnt bother to actually give a screenshot or a post... either way I do feel deeply sadened he feels this way and apologize.

That said I went through my entire search history, literally every interaction I ever had with him. Literally all of it is overwhelming examples of me supporting him and being nice and doing everything I could to be kind and welcoming to him... not one exmaple of nastiness. Here are tthe examples:

qoto.org/@freemo/1036119274149

qoto.org/@freemo/1038756354553

qoto.org/@freemo/1035404758126

qoto.org/@freemo/1037552993049

qoto.org/@freemo/1038952887859

qoto.org/@freemo/1036873716109

I could literally list 100 more positive interactions of me reaching out trying to be nice and supportive and cant find a single one of me "attacking" him.

No reports, no issues of harassment, just me flooding him with niceness and one day I find us blocked.

a pup of coffee :bowie:

Would be great if he could mention this harassment... CauseI looked through every bit of my interaction history with him and all i find is me constantly reaching out to be nice to him. Here are examples:

qoto.org/@freemo/1036119274149

qoto.org/@freemo/1038756354553

qoto.org/@freemo/1035404758126

qoto.org/@freemo/1037552993049

qoto.org/@freemo/1038952887859

qoto.org/@freemo/1036873716109

I could litterally list a100 more positive interactions of me reaching out trying to be nice and supportive and cant find a single one of me "attackingn" him.

Yet not one post could i find of me "harassing him" and i just spent a while looking... It doesnt help he has never once mentioned to me any concerns, never reported, nothing for me to know what he is talking about... regardless if he felt that way I am deeply sorry. But if he doesnt want to engage i cant force him.

@waltercool

Well to be fair he does claim itt was "harassment".. which is a serious accusation and if true would jusitfy blocking QOTO.

The problem is he doesnt even bother providing a screenshot or link to a single example, never reported a single example that could be acted on, nothing...

@david

@FailForward I just added two more workers... it should respond much faster now once it catches up

@obi

Thats the common MO.. lots of accusations, and not one damn example to actually act on... look ill be the first to apologize if i was insensitive but I remember going out of my way to try to be welcoming and kind when he brought up his server... so my guess is there is no screenshot because nothing really happened of incident.

@tonic

@tonic See my response here:

qoto.org/@freemo/1093721648998

I have no clue what he could possibly mean by harassment. But I did apologize that he felt attacked.

I will say this, he never reported any incidents, not even about me (I can not moderate reports about me and I would have been suspended if i had done that)... So we could never act, never even know it was happening.

Even now he isnt posting any specific examples so its impossible to act on or evaluate.

@david I am very saddened to hear you felt harassed. I was never aware of this, in fact all IU recall is going out of my way to support you, help with technical issues on your server, and promote your instance. Then one day out of nowhere just saw us blocked and never knew why.

If i knew you felt attacked, even accidentally, I would have apologized much sooner. But just to be clear I am very sad to hear you ever felt attacked by me or any of our users, very sorry that happened.

Please feel free to report or share any such incidents from me or our users and they will be suspended,. I can not vote on moderation issues about me so it would even result in my own suspension, so please feel free to report.

@ambihelical

you will probably need to refollow them.. it may be the hackyderm server didnt update yet with their own block list.

@trinsec @khird

@ambihelical

Thats not entierly accurate.

Hachyderm.io reversed our block once the community reached out to them.. mastodon.technology is shutting down and many of its users moved to us.

As for the last three, look at their block lists, its so long your finger will get a cramp scrolling it, they effectively block almost the entire fediverse.

@trinsec @khird

@bykimbo

He was harassed into leaving the fediverse. This was some time back tthough.

@georgetakei

@mguhlin

Luckily we remain int he top 20 servers in terms of reach (people who can hear you when you post)... so shouldnt be a huge problem for you.
