Worshippers of totalitarian regime are requesting Indian Govt. to ban @Mastodon in India. Demeaning activists, writers, students & branding them anti national wasn't enough, so now they have audacity to crush platforms supporting voices of dissent. What threatened them? Fight against Casteism!
@Gargron It's farcical how they claim, Mastodon suppresses 'normal' voice? So it means who?🤔
May be, Its Castiest, Racist, Xenophobes who are trying to 'normalize' hate!

@BhavanaVarun I don't think they could ban @Mastodon even if they wanted to. They could block mastodon.social on ISP level, but there are over 2,000 other ones, and they couldn't stop new Mastodon servers from popping up.

They'd also have to ban every other kind of server that federates with Mastodon and behaves the same way: Friendica, Pleroma, Epicyon, Osada - and then there are things like peertube for videos and pixelfed for images and funkwhale for music... all those federate and 'talk' to each other. i.e. if you are on mastodon, you may follow someone on any of the other platforms (and vice versa).

@gemlog Thank you so much for all of these suggestions. I'll share them. Others would find it useful too.
