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.

@cstross This thread should make clear that the admins of qoto are operating in good faith.

I feel like if anyone were actually following our moderation efforts until now that has been proven countless times.. but it always falls on deaf ears.

Context:

cstross is the author Charlie Stross, who has received the disinformation that “the Mastodon instance at qoto.org is overrun by alt-right/gamergater types using the “free speech” policy as top cover for spewing their bilious hate”.

@peterdrake

Lets hope their actually looking for evidence… I would hope our timeline alone would have disproven that one.
