I want to make sure #fediblock is aware that this post was made entirely in retaliation to this post I made one hour earlier:

As I state explicitly this is a bald face lie that we have any modifications in our code base. Our codebase is public and linked. At no point did we change anything. They are just lying in retaliation to the above post (look at time stamps to see)

Hence why I tell people it's an early-warning tool, not an end-point. Most of the stuff people post on there gets blocked by TechHub, but sometimes we don't see the need to, and certainly, we've been on there a couple times ourselves.
That's not to say you're perfect: I think Qoto has less aggressive content restrictions than we do here, but "less aggressive" doesn't mean "less moderated", just a different style. We haven't blocked it because we've never had a reason to, but we only block if we think there's going to be harassment or otherwise something that should never appear in the timeline (eg, racial slurs).
I could see another server deciding to block on content grounds, but that's a per-server decision: I'd hope they'd at least glance at your timeline first.
