Being on this massive instance that so many instances are #defederating from is bumming me out a bit. For a few reasons, I’m staying put (for now). I wonder if there are any solutions being explored by @Gargron and his team to establish more effective moderation processes? Is there any hope the other #instances won’t defederate from mastodon dot social?
@serenebabe @Gargron why are they defederating from mastodon.social?
I think in some ways it’s bound to occur, some people really like bubbles, and if your in one of those bubbles and don’t want to be, you should move on. But being isolated from one of those bubbles should not be too much of a concern. The people in there either will move, or want to be there.
There’s some pretty isolated bubbles out there!
@ku7 because of the racism, and I think, possibly anti-trans harmful behaviors? Basically, insufficient moderation, as far as I understand it.
@serenebabe @ku7 All of it is false.
@Gargron instances aren’t defederating from us?
I know @freemo led a charge to defederate against mastodon.social after Eugen supported a Nazi’s misinformation and spam campaign, but IDK how many people listened to him.
@realcaseyrollins @Gargron @serenebabe that doesn't sound like @freemo ...

@realcaseyrollins @serenebabe @ceoln @freemo There is no connection between the removal of a promotional link to qoto.org from joinmastodon.org and anyone named Snow. The link was removed in light of a revision of qoto.org's moderation policies following a mass-email campaign by Jeffrey Freeman that used a tool developed by Kiwi Farms to find which servers have blocked his, and Jeffrey has been told as much in writing.

Which change is this?

I can see that being irksome, although I definitely get where freemo was coming from, wanting to clear his name from the #Nazi misinformation campaign. Would you say that making some sort of post (like this post here) would have been a better way to go, to avoid accusations of harassment?
Also, which tool did freemo use that was developed by #Kiwifarms?

LOL there was **no** change to our moderation policy... none.. go check the internet archive... actually the one thing we did change is we made our hate speech rules more explicit..
I think ill add to the artricle his reply and show the internet archive's change to our ToC to highly that the only change to our ToC was to add more explicit protections to the LGBTQ community.
