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。

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.

In 1959, police were called to a segregated library when a Black 9-year-old boy trying to check out books refused to leave, after being told the library was not for Black people.

The boy, Ronald McNair, went on to became an astronaut. The library is also now named after him

#Food Wastage Due to #Premature Discarding: A Low-cost #Sensor to Test #Freshness | Scientists have developed an inexpensive sensor using PEGS #technology which can test #food #freshness and can help reduce wastage due to discarding food prematurely (throwing away of food solely because it is close to (or passed) the use-by date, regardless of its actual freshness). The sensors can be integrated into food packaging or tags.

@mergerson @matunos @nafnlaus @stanstallman @Empiricism The gaslighting really is appalling.

Here's an excellent thread from @Tinu ... it starts with

"I want to be happy here.

But my Black friends keep getting banned for doing justice work.

Or just... Existing."

I made Thanksgiving dinner and now the kids are crying and I'm not allowed to help anymore

Strawberries is one of my favourite things to draw! So fun! #MastoArt #illustration #DigitalArt

Proposed resolution:

When Tumblr joins the fediverse by implementing ActivityPub, we should:
- Defederate Tumblr if they inject ads into the federation for our users, and
- Defederate Tumblr if they place federated posts (our posts) alongside ads.

No ads on fedi.

Last night I was watching a new a Netflix show, looked interesting.

Then the music reminded me of my favorite Netflix show “dark”. Then one of the dark actors showed up.
Turns out, it is the new show from the creators of Dark.
Still on episode one, but here it is, in case you loved Dark as much as I did: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1899_(TV_series)

I always say that the tamale is a perfect food.

First off —delicious.

Second, there is no wrong way to heat one up. Steam, skillet, toaster oven, microwave, a hot rock. Whatever you’ve got WILL WORK !👍🏽

My suggestion, spread this story to journalists and lets get some attention to it..

Here is the list of journalists on the fedi:

Here is the story:

You can also boost or link them this toot

I think what we really need to do is get journalists to pick up on this story....

Two things I learned growing up in a heavily Mexican dominated city in southern California.

#1. Abuelita is always right. You don't argue.

#2. Tamales go with every holiday. Xmass? Tamales. Thanksgiving? Tamales. Easter? Tamales. Birthday? Tamales.

I miss living there SO much sometimes.

Doing a bit of an experiment. Boost if you agree!

Trans rights are human rights.

Black lives matter.

No human is illegal.

Love is love.

Her body is her choice.

Science is real.

Kindness is everything.

So I decided to post the article I wrote (linked below) on twitter and am going to dump some money into promoting it there. Gotta get some attention to this. Go boost over on twitter if you'd like.

I hesitate to boost this, because people only reading the headline might misread it as "someone is accusing Eugen of *being* a Nazi, which is either true or a melodramatic Godwinization" or "Mastodon is full of Nazis".

TLDR:

1. Our instance, qoto.org, came under attack by an actual, swastika-waving Nazi. Mastodon is by no means full of such bad actors, but they do exist. Freemo provides evidence and history of the attack.
2. This bad actor created enough disinformation noise that Eugen chose to delist qoto from joinmastodon to protect the reputation of Mastodon. This was a win for the baddies.
3. Debates over proper moderation and federation policies are complicated and can grow heated.

@freemo @Gargron @trinsec @khird #qoto

(Interesting thing I learned when autocompleting those tags: there are several accounts impersonating Eugen.)
