   The reason we got into joinmastodon.org is because our timeline reviewed and any reports made on the system was reviewed. They couldnt find a single incident of sexism or racism or any other sort of hate speech that wasnt promptly addressed by a moderator...

   If you'd like to claim that we "clearly don't" follow the server covenant (which is in fact our rules explicitly do follow) then can you please point us to a single incident where the covenant was violated.

   As Rob said, your welcome to come review our timeline and try to find such an incident.

     Are you suggesting people that own businesses are somehow evil now? I fail to see how that is even relevant.

     It seems he is more bothered by the dishonesty in the accusation than any fear of repercussions really.

     I've considered these sorts of threads a lot in the past, ever since the Wil Wheaton disgrace that was the Fediverse...

     I actually see them as a good thing for QOTO for two reasons.

     1) Since they present no evidence and are easily debunked the only sort of people who give them any attention are the people who don't really care about facts or truth. These are exactly the people we hope will block QOTO since they are only likely to be noise and drama without much good coming from it anyway.

     2) For everyone else who sees the post but actually demand evidence, well for those people its basically free word-of mouth about our instance. These are the people we want to attract and these are also the people likely to sign up to see the timeline for themselves, and stay.

     So really its good no matter how you slice it.

     @shibaprasad

     One of our moderators even came out on QOTO as bi a few months before being elected as moderator ( @mngrif )

     I mean the more you look at it it the more absurd the accusations sound.

     Sanders is this guy @snder He took a train out to Utrecht once where I met him, seemed like a decent enough guy to me. I dont know all the instances he runs though, i know it is more than one.

     He has nothing to do with me in terms of instances, though I do know who he is and he seems like a decent guy other than running a few instances.

     @ben

     Thats correct, he does use the free QOTO git service to host his code, many users take advantage of our free git service in the fediverse it is open to any open source projects.

     Them: Calls us a biggot

     @carcinopithecus I was refering to the people in this thread calling our instance bigots, not you. We and I defended that stance.

     Your response then went on to say you would support us being clocked simply for our "debate us" response to these accusations.

     You have to keep in mind, no one here cares if we get blocked, if an instance is going to block us because of nonsense like this then we **want** to be blocked obviously. What is concerning more to me, and others, would be the accusation in the first place that most people here made.

     As for someone who just doesnt enjoy our content, thats fine, we are STEM professionals and what we like isnt what others like. There is nothing in that statement I'd object to nor was objecting to
