I'm blocked so I cantt correct Rich... but who is going to tell him that he is lieing (or misinformed).
We have clear rules about child porn as is shown below. I was asked but someone about it and at the time we had never had to address it so I mentioned tthe moderators would need to vote to get it added to our rules.. moments later we voted and added it... Naturally the person lied and posted out of context about the vote and never bothered to let people know we updated our rules moments later.
As to his comment about kiwifarms.. lets be clear. I saw a list on a website whose domain name was not associated with kiwifarms as far as I knew.. it just so happened that list was generated using a tool that happened to be written by kiwifarms... obviously I didnt know this.
This shit is getting absurd...
@freemo So much of this is just silly, and I’m sorry you’re having to deal with it. I’m not going to be defederating from instances that have thoughtful moderation policies that do their best to enforce them, I can tell you that. I’ll recommend Qoto too.
Ah, the feeling of old-style internet drama, I’ve kinda missed it! (not that much)
@dichotomiker @freemo Nazis didn't persecute only jews. They persecuted and killed people that didn't think the way they did. Even people of their own nationality! They didn't care about the truth. Eugene and his staff show the same behaviour when they block people without given them any justification and the chance to defend themselves. I'm not saying he is a Nazi. I'm saying he isn't fair nor honest in the way he deals with others.
This comment on reddit meant so much to hear!

@freemo
Yeah, all burners, high heat, closed lid. Like a rocket... 🙃 😉 🤣
Funny how @Gargron was so concerned about popular opinion and "optics" when he delisted us... Now the thread on reddit discussing this is already more popular than any other thread this month and will likely hit an all time high.
Shame about the bad optics...

I am trying to rotisserie some red meat on the grill for the first time. That white thing behind the meat is a gas burner plus there are for gas burners underneath.... what i dont know is how to do it.. do i turn on all burners, side and bottom? Do i use high heat or low? Do i close the lid or leave it open?
My guess is all burners on, highest heat, lid closed.
Thank you everyone for the outpouring at bringing attention to my blog post about mastodon. Thanks to everyone up voting the thread is one of the most up voted threads on r/mastodon every, and all in only an hour!

@digital_carver@qoto.org6 @freemo Indeed, closest instance to comms style around beginnings of internet.
Ok i lived then on IRC, plus for longr physical while in NY, is why i failed coom:
@freemo
Honestly, I probably would have disengaged from the Fediverse/Mastoverse a long time ago - or at best had a mostly dormant account (like I do on the birdsite) - because of stuff like this, if not for #QOTO.
To my knowledge, this is the instance that comes closest to having the culture that Hacker News wants to have:
> Eschew flamebait. Avoid generic tangents.
> Be kind. Don't be snarky. Have curious conversation; don't cross-examine. Please don't fulminate. Please don't sneer, including at the rest of the community.
(from https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html)
So, thank you, for creating an environment for those of us that want to have genuine and curious conversations.

在和qoto的管理员沟通后,对方表示已经在处理实例内针对性多元群体的不友善发言。
我相信祂们并非有意疏忽和放纵恶意内容,而是作为i18运营的实例的确难以高效处理像中文这样的小语种内容,特别是当恶意账号使用替换字符等手段来规避机器翻译功能的正常运作,使得管理员们难以理解受举报内容的实际含义。
如果有象友因为该实例上的不友善内容而对其进行了实例级屏蔽,请考虑解除。祂们自己的页面

介绍说这是一个学术主题的i18实例,并且还提供了诸如内文latex数学公式支持等相应功能。STEM领域一直非常缺乏女性、性多元群体及其他少数族裔的声音,因此保持对话非常重要。
并且为了让不友善内容更快得到处理,请尝试使用英语报告相应嘟文,或者至少在报告中以正确用字替换别字,以便管理员使用翻译工具来理解报告内容。
@freemo
thank you for your effort.
