Have you heard anything about Norton Chrome Extension calling qoto.org a "very dangerous website"? I sent an invite to someone and it blocked her. She used another browser and it's fine. Weird...

@mathlover @Romaq

This happened to a few instances in the past.. what happens is a trojan-net bot signs up for an account here and makes either a post or in theri description posts an IP address, that ip address is the control address for the net. The result is that when this happens we get put on malware lists... happened to qoto once and we had to scour EVERY user till we found it and delete the user.. happened to a dozen other instances too.

How recent was this, can you link me to any sources so i can start looking for this.

@freemo I'll DM the invite link. Issued just within the last hour or so.

@freemo Actually, are my invite links visible to you? It's the latest one generated.

@Romaq the invite link isnt the issue.. the issue is the service which is issuing the malware warning that your friend is seeing.

@freemo @mathlover @Romaq I have had my Nord threat protection go off and block qoto too. Said it was malicious and had to allow it to load in the settings.

@jellycrystals jesus christ these services need to fix their shit instead of making me look through 20,000 users for an ip address in an description... funny they dont seem to block twitter when this happens.

@freemo Not sure if it is or but life is sometimes hard on my mobile too... Flagged as malware again.
