@admin @Mastodon should be aware and cautious of people who are putting vulgar and pornographic material on this social network. It may be a handiwork of other social networking platforms who feel threatened from @Mastodon. If proper precautions are not taken then the new users may not feel safe here forcing them to make less use of this platform.

I am the admin for qoto, the @admin account you linked is not, We also have @arteteco and @Surasanji
who are fellow mods.
We dont currently have any nude or NSFW accounts on QOTO, you are probably remarking on accounts you see on other networks that we federate with.
@arteteco @freemo @Surasanji @admin
It's actually unfortunate if you don't have anything against vulgarity and pornography. I thought QOTO was specifically for asking questions to others and not for watching porn. I thought it was a platform for breeding intellectual thought process and not for enhancing euphemism.
At the moment we don't have any accounts that show any degree of nudity what so ever...
@freemo @Jastej @arteteco @admin We are federated with the rest of the network. If you see a particular poster you do not wish to follow, you may silence or block them.
We do not, on the whole, like to silence or block instances.
In this case you will need to block those sorts of people on your own. They are not breaking any rules, and they are not members of our instance specifically.
Its also important to note that your account can silence/mute an entire instance. This way you wont see any posts from anyone on that instance.
Since there are only a few nudity-oriented instances you can eliminate the vast majority of instances with just a few mutes.
@freemo @Surasanji @Jastej @arteteco @admin I recalled having making a post with a screenshot, showing Jastej how to Mute an account, or even block a whole instance/domain from his feed.
Found it - and it's worth looking at. I have used this myself to block a domain I object to.
@design_RG @freemo @Surasanji @arteteco @admin
Yes, thank you for that. My last toot was general in nature. Don't mind it. Otherwise you guys are very helpful.
@Jastej @freemo @Surasanji @arteteco @admin You are welcome.
I agree, the site is stable and well run, as well as having clearly stated policies and attentive staff.
Your post is also helpful in opening up the question, and now showing possible solutions.
We have had great conversations this morning already, quite on topic and great for learning new things.
QOTO is an instance of a social network. No, it's not just to ask questions to others, I'm sorry if we gave the wrong idea.
We highly value freedom of speech, as an essential part of science, human interactions and personal development. We understand that some content may be perceived as disturbing, that is why we enforce the mandatory CW in such cases. Otherwise, anything is in general fine.
With that said, we do not have any case of such content in this instance afaik, if you do have anything could you point it out to me, please?
@freemo @Jastej @Surasanji @admin
Also, I have nothing against vulgar, pornographic or otherwise offensive material as long as it is properly CW'ed, as by our ToS
