I am considering adding the following phrasing to QOTO’s ToC.. Before I do I’d like some feedback from the community
While QOTO aims to provide a community where our users do not fear being punished for their personal opinions, that does not mean we allow people to disseminate ideologies that are abusive or violent towards others. Demonstrating support for or defending ideologies known to be violent or hateful is a bannable offense. This includes, but is not limited to: racial supremacy, anti-LGBTQ or anti-cis-gender/anti-straight, pro-genocide, child abuse or child pornography, etc. While we allow questions and conversation regarding these topics in general, doing so in bad faith will result in immediate expulsion.
@freemo @trinsec @khird I like this wording, People should be free to respectfully ask each other “why do you believe that?” Likewise, when asked why we believe something, we should be encouraged to respectfully offer grounds. Free speech does not require shared beliefs. No conversation would be needed if we all thought alike! It rather requires respectful questioning, expression, and listening. We can embrace high standards both for openness and decorum. Indeed, these ideals are linked.
