@milhaud Muy interesante. Faltan aquí todos los actos políticos violentos que no fueron denunciados ni juzgados ni resultaron en condenas. Por ejemplo, incendios de coches o viviendas, destrucción de tiendas o mobiliario urbano, etc. Me pregunto si hay estadísticas de eso.
“The US today is solidly in the #anocracy zone. […] We are no longer considered, by any group that studies #democracy, a full democracy. We are in this middle zone.”
“In the UK, there's going to be 30 gun deaths this year. There's 120 a day in the US. So, since #CharlieKirk's assassination two days ago, there's already been eight times the number of gun deaths in the #US that there will be all year in the UK.”

@freemo I would appreciate that, thank you. At the same time, I don't want you guys to do work specifically for me, so if you think the export feature will work soonish, either after that migration to Glitch or because it's fixed here on this server, I'm happy to wait.
Thanks for that.
To be honest, my priority right now is to be able to export my data, which I can't do at the moment.
Then, about forks, perhaps I would advise you guys to stick to mainstream binaries: as much as I loved QOTO's unique features and extra goodies, I would prefer stability and reliability long-term over fancy stuff…
@freemo No answer on Matrix either :(
@freemo Done, thank you!
@QOTO, @freemo, @khird, @barefootstache:
OK, I'm actually concerned now. Nobody's answering my queries, either here or in Matrix, and the data export feature does not work.
Who is maintaining this instance? Where can we direct our questions or bug reports?
Thank you.
Err… no.

OK, thank you.
I have been noticing technical issues and general neglect in the last year or so. eg, Markdown formatting does not seem to work any more, often the web page does not refresh correctly or is completely unavailable, pagination (infinite scroll) throws server errors, trying to export personal data in ActivityPub format does not work at all, etc.
I'm a bit concerned, and would appreciate if whoever is maintaining can shed light about status of the service, available capacity and expectations for the future.
I'm happy to contribute financially with a small amount (as I did already in the past) if that would help.
Thanks again.
@QOTO, @freemo, @khird, @barefootstache:
Who is maintaining this instance? I have noticed issues lately, and I have a few questions, but don't know where to ask.
Thank you!

you are cooked.
Markdown formatting is (still) broken here, right?
(Old issue, I know -- I've been away for many months, and don't know what's the status after all those hiccups after migration...)

👍 Mostly agree.
To clarify: I do think that “deliberate floods of misinformation” cause harm. We agree on that, too. It's just that I think top-down efforts to label them and suppress them are usually counter-productive and have dangerous side-effects.
“Why wouldn’t you dismiss it?”
You don't get my point. I might dismiss the lab-leak theory, okay. It's probably not the best one, given what we know now. What I think about this is irrelevant, and I don't want to impose my ideas on anyone.
The issue is: do you feel *that* confident about the “Huanan Seafood Market” theory, and about the potential danger of allowing competing theories to be communicated, as to label any departure as a “conspiracy theory” or “misinformation”, and defend that those posts should be flagged, hidden, or removed?
As for motivated reasoning and political purposes, those go both ways. Few sources are neutral, and anyone could throw the same accusation at proponents of other theories. Are nature and Wikipedia non-motivated and apolitical? It's a rhetorical question :)
“That FBI report was specifically ‘low confidence’”
Yes. A hypothesis that three huge governmental institutions report to be the most likely, even with low confidence, cannot be a conspiracy theory, or misinformation. That was my point. The FBI etc necessarily had *even lower* confidence in all other competing theories, by definition.
I agree about the “military” bit. That is probably a stretch. I haven't found much pointing in that direction, specifically (only in the general sense of secret research being conducted there).
