You'll note quoto.org is at the top of the technology oriented instance list. I know the admin to some degree (he followed me almost immediately after I joined) and while he won't tolerate you using his instance to harass people he's vocally tolerant of good faith arguments in favor of unpopular ideas and won't prevent you from following any account publishing legal content.
While free speech is not a goal of Mastodon the technology is very conducive to it and many of the admins are reasonable people.

- sneak 5y agoThat's nice to hear. A lot of instance admins will defederate other instances based only on rumor or suspicion of wrongthink, preventing all of their users from following accounts on those instances even if they want to. This has happened to my single user instance simply based on my political beliefs (primarily the right to free peaceful expression, you'd think that would be less controversial), not any content actually posted. It's a big problem in the fediverse, because one has to be a little bit of an activist in the first place to exit twitter, and these days popular activism and censorship overlap a lot.
- swiley 5y agoI remember seeing a defederation list a while ago that was supposedly for "alt-right/nazi" instances. It of course contained qoto and fosstodon due to their being pro free speech.
