@freemo Like I said, by not checking peoples' background when you have positive interactions with them, you are de facto being associated with them. "Hate speech and harassment strictly forbidden." doesn't mean much when you yourself don't check who you interact with in the first place.

It just sets weak expectations about moderation enforcement on your server if you aren't ready to do this work on your own account. And people are noticing this. The people who blocked your instance preventively, of course, but also the people peddling hate online.
