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 I trust your motive and have seen the recent thread where DK was attempting this doxxing of someone in another instance.

Visited the sunbeam city mastodon, and their Wiki does have a specific restriction about "doxxing other members " (not specified if only locally or in other instances as well) being unacceptable behaviour. See screenshot below, from https://wiki.sunbeam.city/doku.php?id=code_of_conduct

If you do have a post or thread from their admin staff stating doxxing of people in other instances might be acceptable, I would suggest it would be productive to insert a link and maybe a screen capture here so people can verify it.

@design_RG I just dug a little deeper, While I cant find the actual post where they stated that doxing is acceptabe I did find that the person who did the doxing is actually a moderator on SBC in the first place. So a bit of a moot point. I think it should be clear that despite what their wiki says considering their moderator is actively engaging in doxxing we can assume its a supported tactic of the instance.

@freemo @design_RG admin is a step up from mod, right? Has anyone tried getting in touch with the actual admin and getting him to clamp down on his rogue mod?

@khird
Yes, I agree with Kyle - even if DK is now a mod at that instance, their admin staff should be contacted and informed of the situation.

Pretty bad for a Mod person to go out doing this kind of thing, and it's possible they are being supported by admin, but worth a contact, imo.

@freemo

@design_RG

I am all for trying to contact them first, many people have tried, by all means give it a go. They hat eme so best you do it.

I could be wrong but I was under the impression DK has been the mod of SBC for a long time now.
