When people say “host your own server” to me I am going to start telling them to represent themselves in court. We all have different skill sets and the bar for entry should not be being a server admin or mastodon is doomed to fail. There is no meaningful growth as it is . I want to see it succeed but chastising me does not make it so
but your problem is the reverse. your server is cool but the biggest fedi server is limiting their own users' access to your individual account. they'd do that wherever it was hosted. ultimately we need to break up MS, but having it as a default server is so useful right now. we really just need a new norm for moderation.
but what the mob did to you re Israel criticism, I'd probably never convince people here not to try to censor clearly conservative opinions.
@wjmaggos@LALegault What the fuck? Mastodon.social is limiting access to @LALegault? Did I get that right? Any receipts/confirmation on this before I go thermonuclear?
@LALegault@wjmaggos Just scrolled through your history and found that. Unbelievable (believable). I’m sick of saying it but one instance should not be that big or have that much power.
Mastodon.Social. Yep, beyond shadow banning, they started to use the nebulous concept of "Holocaust Inversion" to remove posts that are critical of #Israel and/or #Zionism.
It doesn't take a genius to figure-out what's going on at mastodon.social. For that reason, I moved to mastodon.world yesterday.
I once dreamed of making liberal.city into a home for dissidents that weren't assholes. a new fedi norm. all unpopular info and opinions welcome, but no harassment.
"No posts or links to content supporting, featuring, or promoting hate groups, terrorism, mass violence or calls to violence."
Most obviously, doesn't discussion about even Sept 11 "feature" mass violence and terrorism? In a more disputed sense, I'd say supporting most US foreign policy is calling for violence. And if you say there's an exception for defense, that depends on how far back in a conflict we start the clock. was Hiroshima terrorism?
@wjmaggos@NoBeerToday@jonburr@aral@LALegault Then I think we need to rewrite the rule. I would need to discuss with the team, but what we i.m.o. want to accomplish with the rule is prevent supporting or promoting terrorism etc. Not discussing it.
Discussing 9-11 events is no problem, organizing/planning a new attack on our platform is.
OK, let's keep it simple. If I write: "The State of #Israel is using the same methodologies against the #Palestinians as the then #German#Nazis were using against the #Jews. Hence, the State of Israel is the New #Nazi State". Does such a statement offends against mastodon.world's moderation rules or not?
I just know the #western & #israelis hypocritical politics & medias would qualify you as "antisemitic" (disregarding the fact that if you was you wouldn't care of what the Nazis did to Jews).
