Well that’s progress at least. Hachyderm.io is going to move qoto.org from suspend to silence. @freemo

@ambihelical @freemo "after our idiot behavior came to light and was publicly discussed , we decided that being held accountable for our actions was too much so we backpedaled and hope you forget” 👍🏻
@tonic @ambihelical @freemo No. People use shortcuts all the time; it the only way to reasonably operate. But, bring evidence, with polite and respectful argument, and they may change. Applying a critical/skeptical mindset is something scientists do all the time, and is not "backpedaling".
And, ultimately it is a free world; that is the whole point of federation. If they just don't like you for some reason and still want to block you, that is their choice. They may lose members if they block to harshly, but that is up to them to make that mistake.
If everyone in the federation did the same thing, it would be pretty boring. Some people are just more cautious than others (e.g. put 10 innocent people in jail to ensure that 1 guilty person doesn't get away).
There is no reason to be rude about it, however. People are just different.
@sgryphon @ambihelical @freemo when I’m in doubt I block domain 😅🤷🏻♂️ works nice 👌🏻
