Welcome to the QOTO instance

QOTO: Question Others to Teach Ourselves No hate, No censorship. Be kind, be respectful "I know you won't believe me, but the highest form of Human Excellence is to question oneself and others." - Socrates

A Mastodon instance for scholars in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) and all yearning to learn.

A free speech space. No censorship

We federate with all servers: we don’t block any servers.

We won’t censor unpopular ideas and statements and welcome people from across the political spectrum, but hate-based speech such as sexist, racist, or homophobic speech will not be tolerated, be kind to each other.

All discussions between mods are public, as we believe that transparency is the best way to show everyone how we put words into practice. Check them out on discourse, and jump in the conversation if you feel like. https://discourse.qoto.org/c/QOTO/moderation

Rules

What will get you banned:

• Anything illegal.
• Intentionally creating a QOTO account to circumvent people blocking you.
• Explicit hate-based racism, sexism, and other hateful speech, but generally unpopular opinions voiced respectfully will be fine.
• Being a bot (unless you post unlisted and do not auto-follow)
• Any account setup solely to advertise a product or service
• NSFW without a content warning
• Spoilers without a content warning
• Blocking of moderators is prohibited since it interferes with their ability to moderate content. However if you do not wish a moderator to comment on your posts outside of official moderator communication such a request will be honored.

What won't get you banned:

• Hurting someone's feelings
• Anything that can be solved by a personal block
• Cursing
• Lewd jokes
• A bot where all posts are unlisted

We are all adults here, act like it. Despite our belief in freedom of expression (free speech) we want to create a space where people are respectful to each other. Don't disrespect people; if they disrespect you then block them and move on. If we get a report on one of our users then an administrator will reach out to the parties involved and try to mediate a peaceful resolution. We will talk it through like mature adults. Lets remember there is a person at the other end of the screen, if we can be mature in real life we can do it here too.
