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.

@Gargron @BhavanaVarun @Mastodon Eugen, these guys once made a list of 6K+ porn sites to be blocked. I use VPN so not sure if they are still blocked. The point is.. don't underestimate the righteous ignorance of idiots.

The beautiful thing is that kashmiris are used to this and don't lose their mind if they're subjected to long hauled internet shutdowns

@Kasheer Your patience and courage in these moments is unfathomable for me. At times, I have no words.

@BhavanaVarun you can attribute it to the case that we have witnessed it through decades. Not just three but 8 atleast.
And centuries of oppression at the hands of the dogras, sikhs and the mughals.
