       I'm giving another server (mstdn.social) a try at the moment, due to qoto being blocked by some of my friend's servers. So far there are some things I like better there (it is not blocked by some of the more safe-space-oriented servers, it is a bit prettier and has some good discovery enablement) and some I don't (no markdown options, a much smaller character limit, generic community). I'm undecided at the moment, but I might migrate in the near future.

       @johnnylogic I didn't realize anyone blocked qoto. This place is pretty mild, surprising that it would be blocked. I guess speech focused heavily on STEM is scary lol

       @obi Yeah, the dispute is around qoto's completely open policy. I'm glad that Mastodon gives the flexibility to implement numerous policies thus allowing a variety of spaces deliberately embrace different standards that serve their users. This also leads to a very explicit tension between safety and freedom. Complete openness to white nationalist, spam, and pornographic servers is seen as a problem by some other server admins, so they block qoto.

       @johnnylogic I know qoto is nearly complete in openness, but I do think @freemo blocks like 3 servers, last I looked. The openness is why I originally came here, and I stayed for the extra features. I don't think any other instance can match his features.
