Have you heard anything about Norton Chrome Extension calling qoto.org a "very dangerous website"? I sent an invite to someone and it blocked her. She used another browser and it's fine. Weird...

@freemo I've been working on that today. I ran some scans, but nobody has a raw IPv4 address in their profile, that I can find with a regex at least. I suspect it's obfuscated in some way.
@freemo if it's an actual URL and not an IPv4 address, there's a good chance I'll catch it this week when I tackle the SEO linkstuffers
@khird that would be great... problem is we have to know who it actually is so we can report to the blacklists for review... ideall we need to find what database is listing us and why...
In the past we showed up here, which showed us the user at fault:
https://tria.ge/220106-dgc7asahg3
I cant find whatt database we are in now... this service didnt seem to help:
https://securityscan.getastra.com/security-audit?site=qoto.org
Perhaps you can use the above link and email tthem? I ttried but the national firewall here blocks them ironically enough.
@freemo I'll see what I can dig up. It's getting on toward night here, so probably going to tackle this in the morning.
@khird ok no rush, would like your input ont he phrase im considering adding to our ToC if you hav ea minute befor eyou go.. id like to get it in quickly.
@freemo generally okay. I'd cut the bit about anti-cisgender/anti-straight, because that's going to be a lightning rod - the people who are already looking for an excuse to block will cry foul because you're "punching down" against marginalised groups, and the free speech ideologues will complain about you declaring *anything* off limits, so the less expansive this section, the better.
I strongly approve the change to academic freedom rather than free speech, given the current trend for a free speech to degenerate into 4chan
@khird perhaps ther eis a better middle ground.. something that is inclusive of both sides but doesnt explicittly say so....
@deadbeef That's cool. Anything said it text normally comes out far harsher than intended. Right now I'm sitting on Kaspersky wishing I didn't have years of pre-paid to go, but I'm not clear on what I'd switch *TO*. All of them seem to offer something to passionately hate.
@Romaq Yeah. And unfortunately, but also understandably, open-source tends to be somewhat lacking in the antimalware department. So that really only leaves proprietary, which all have their own issues.
@deadbeef @freemo
While I wouldn't necessarily disagree with you I note the following:
1) It isn't my PC or my Norton. I'm not using it. The friend considering joining is.
2) Before I tell anyone I'm trying to help to "switch brands of PC protection," I'd want to exhaust all other possibilities. I'm not selling Anti-malware, I'm trying to help someone.
3) In this particular instance, it isn't Norton, it's other issues being currently discussed in the thread.
