   @Full_marx @iakshay @design_RG Wow, if you're blocked for simply being a 'right-winger' then that sucks! But if you didn't follow their community guidelines then i can understand. I'm sure @freemo won't do such things, for no Apparent/Valid reason.

     @Karthikdeva

     M.S and even many other mastodon incidents tend to have this pattern of behavior. They tend to pick a secret political affiliation then ban everyone who seems to be on the other side

     Fear of M.S abusing moderation, as they do, is exactly why I started #QOTO so we will never do that here so long as you treat liberals with full respect and dont constantly belittle or attack others then you will be fine, even protected here.

     We want people on QOTO to be free, without fear, to post their opinions and ideas. For that to happen we have to ensure we dont go around censoring people for opinions.

     Be kind to others and you will always be welcome here regardless of your views.

     Shows my decision to join QOTO was a well chosen one. And oh, the STEM affinity too.

     Agreed, no mater how "obvious" the first step should be to engage a person first. What a shame :(

     @freemo You are very welcome. 😃

     I have been seeing and feeling many similarities between the fediverse and my first experience with networking, way back in the early 90s.

     Back then, all we had were BBSes, phone lines and 2400 bps modems, but there was an international network linking many of them already - FidoNet.

     FidoNet had as one of its core principles something similar to your approach here:

     - Thou Shall not be Annoying.

     immediately followed by the corolary:

     - Thou Shall not be Easily Annoyed. 😃

     Words of wisdom to live by!

     We are very cautious about who we pick as mods and try to review them for some time. They cam be left leaning or right leaning, I dont mind that, but they must show compassion and objectivity in how they handle others they disagree with.

     I a very happy with the mods we have so far in that regard ( @arteteco and @Surasanji
     )

     I started on the BBS dialup days as well. The connected network between them was just coming around at the time.

     Did you play the Doors games like LOTRD?

     @bisaat I dont really know enough about Nathuram Godse to form an opinion of him.

     I am more interested in if you have any examples of their instance engaging in harassment or attacks on others. How they treat people, particularly people they disagree with, is far more important to me than someones political opinions usually.

     I found a copy of BBS The Documentary on Youtube. DVDs are no longer available, for now.

     That is disgusting, and this kind of thing is why people tend to not want to even be in the same room with someone with different or opposing views. 😞

     It's a question of decency, no matter what politics you favour. A decent human being wouldn't be doing that just to spite someone else.

     I am left wing and very happy with our conversation here, but I do find places like gab.com really annoying. 😔
