@mancavgeek As an Admin of #QOTO I'd like to speak on the record here.

As we make clear in out ToS we dont block other instances but we DO censor. We believe in free speech in the sense that you wont get blocked for simply holding an unpopular opinion. But anyone who attacks others, insults them, or acts aggressive towards others are, and have been banned. We do NOT tolerate racism.

As others have pointed out, none of our users are hateful or racist. On the few cases that happened it resulted in a ban.

I generally suggest people ban instances based on what they do or do not tolerate from their users, rather than some ideological response to some key words in a description.

If anyone in this thread actually knows of an example of any user on QOTO not living up to what I described please let me know, we will take care of them.

@union

Just a friendly reminder. #QOTO has a HUGE federation footprint. We federate with the vast majority of the fediverse and store/cache ALL posts so they are searchable from around the fediverse.

I pay around $600 a month to make this possible in hosting QOTO and have donated enough to the funds to last us at least a few years ($10,000 was what I donated to QOTO's non-profit).

I am more than happy to keep footing the bill but if anyone wants to donate that is welcome too, just let me know. Regardless ill be moving some things over to S3 for better long term storage.

Easily triggered people can suck it up their own ass.

When I hear you talking I start believing myself.

I used to want to be a cyborg when I grow up.

Now I just want to be a cyborg.

The left now become authoritarian and censors people based on their sense of "morality" and "tolerance". They've turned to the conservatives from the 1960s.

? ? ? ?

First the Internet gave us access to everything. Then it gave everything access to us.

The question isn't whether we live in a simulated universe, the question is how many layers of simulations are above ours.

"Is it Windows Vista bad? Is it iPhone4 bad?! Don't tell me this is Zune bad!"

"I'm sorry, it is Apple Maps bad."

"Fuuuuuuck"

I often don't know what my expectations are until they're not met.

@robcolbert For a free speech instance you guys you seem to be pretty pro block. I mean hell you even suspend accounts who criticize gab on gab pretty liberally I hear, seen a few examples of gab blocks that looks pretty frivolous.

I mean its cool if thats the stance your instance has on moderation. But I'm not sure its fair to keep flying the free speech banner then either.
