For those curious it seems one person claimed this was due to a conversationn i had where asked about if we would block child porn... I said it isnt something we ever faced and didnt have set rules on it, but i am pretty certain we would block it.
Anyway shortly after that I had the conversation witht he mods and as expectted agreed we would block it, our TOS was updated accordingly with the following:
"Offending servers will only be silenced, not blocked, blocks will be reserved for technical assaults only such as DDoS attacks, or legal issues such as sexual abuse and child porn."
But of course whoever handles tthat directory did absolutely **no** due diligence and didnt even once reach out to us to fact check.

So it seems joinmastodon removed QOTO from their directory without cause, without contacting us, and without any discussion or due diligence. Since...
The 2021 Global Estimates indicate there are 50 million people in situations of modern slavery on any given day, either forced to work against their will or in a marriage that they were forced into.
That does not include soldiers that are in the army against their will, so the real number is even higher.

Russia is sick: Russia burning off $10m worth of gas every day - BBC News
Aerial images have shown a Russian energy facility near its border with Finland burning off supplies of natural gas worth approximately $10m US dollars.
It's said the plant has been burning off gas, which would have previously been exported to Germany, for months.
The burning has also triggered a warning from climate change experts with its close proximity to the Arctic Circle.

Any audiophiles looking for new software tools?
I developed an #AI program that identifies mp3 transcoding in lossless music.
It’s open source and there’s also an online demo to scan your flac files.
If going full vegetarian/vegan is too much for you, consider reducing a little your beef consumption.
According to a new study, if everyone ate 20% less beef, global deforestation would be cut in half from the projected values for 2050. Microbial protein is the way to go.

Note, though, that Fourier proposed the existence of the greenhouse effect (that’s its modern name) in 1824.
#til that Eunice Newton Foote presented a theory on CO2 increasing the atmosphere’s temperature in 1856!
She speculated that an increased amount of CO2 in some point in history would cause higher temperatures, long before the greenhouse effect was studied.
Of course, she didn’t receive appropriate praise for her research, because she was… a woman. 😶

[repost but now public]
So after some hard thinking we've come up with an End2End encrypted #RocketChat server with #CloudFlare setup for refugees from #Ukraine
The goal is to keep a strickt moderation so Putin's people won't be able to join or get suspended right away. Also we want to blockout #Russia completely.
There are main channels for
help-needed, help-offered, missing-people, news etc. People can use the official RocketChat app for Android, iOS and Desktop.
This way we want to offer the people of Ukraine a safe wayt to communicate besides WhatsApp, Signal, FB messenger.
Users are able to create private channels with multiple people and send direct messages to other users, all end to end encrypted. 🚀 🗨️
We need people who speak Ukrainian, moderators, news checkers etc

We contacted Julian Assange in prison. He says that everyone in #Ukraine should install @BriarApp NOW before the internet goes down. @BriarApp is designed to let people safely communicate with each other in exactly this situation https://t.co/OaTp5jX01b https://t.co/5U3dcbNBJx
“For years I have been reluctant to compare any dictator to Hitler, or any war to the second world war. The comparison, to me, seemed exaggerated, even vulgar.
But what other analogy is there. With no reason, in an act of pure madness, an old-fashioned air assault has been inflicted on a neighbouring country.
I said that to my Russian colleague, and tried very hard not to show how my voice was trembling. She asked for forgiveness again.
There is a famous phrase “4am Kyiv is bombed”. Every Ukrainian and Russian kid knows it. That’s how the announcement of the German bombardment of Kyiv in 1941 sounded.
And here we are: 24 February 5am Kyiv is bombed by Russia.”
