The problem is the information doesn't lead to a reasonable case for silencing an entire community.
ariadne's opinion of freemo is irrelevant and the claim of "centralized moderation" and "protection of bad actor instances" appears to be the complete opposite of what the ufoi site reads.
It appears this Snow character really did a number on qoto's reputation. I have a feeling if ufoi was another instance's creation it wouldn't catch nearly as much flack.
@Darkayne @rootadmin @realcaseyrollins Totally agree.
Guys, think about the whole community when you discuss this. An admin being an idiot in your judgement does not make a good case for silencing the whole community. After all, all admins, whatever we think of them, should be applauded for what they do for their users. And mind you, at qoto.org, you might not like the guy, but he's doing his tech job well plus, does not even ask for contributions from the community. And he should be thanked for that - regardless of what anybody thinks about him as a person.
@Darkayne @rootadmin @realcaseyrollins
After all, this all is about a simple thing: qoto.org was excluded (blocked) for no good reason (many here think) and our admin is doing his utmost for us to "belong again". Searching for some dark intentions behind is pointless. And he chose a way to put a finger on some real harmful phenomenon out there and tried to right the wrong. People might disagree with it, that is alright, but to imply a negative judgement about the whole community because of that is just silly. What's so difficult to understand about it?

Thank you for this.
For the record I pay $1,200 a monthy out of pocket and typically receive no donations (the month of twitter influx however i did get $300, it was the only time though). I am happy to do it though.
