So would seem that recently Sunbeamcity.com has stated that their administrative position is to support and protect doxxing when they deem it appropriate.
This puts people at real danger especially considering the poor reputation the person doing the doxxing has (a laundry list of false accusations with no evidence).
The question I want to ask, should the QOTO policy be updated t include a clause where we defederate from any instance that supports doxxing?
Vote if you'd like but ultimately the comments will decide where I stand on the issue.

@freemo You'll have to defederate from me if so 😭
If people make their info public, they don't get to cry that it isn't private, that's how I see it.
@Coomer Thats not doxxing, the incident that happened at sunbeam citt involved a user actively trying to hack a persons account to get their email address which they did NOT make public. They did a poor job of it mind you, but this wasnt just the case that they shared public information, they actively tried to reveal information that was not public.
@freemo Fair enough.
How would defederating from this instance prevent that from happening to a Qoto user?
@Coomer I dont view it as security, though it does provide a minimal increase in safety...
Its a bit like asking "Why dont you accept calls from that guy who rapped you"... I mean sure the guy could just come to your house and stalk you, not answering calls isnt preventing that. But it is still probably a sound move.
@freemo That gets into the "obfuscation as a security feature" debate that no one on Fedi can seem to agree on.
