you can use fediverse ...
@Deepsealioness
you can invite them to use pleroma or diaspora ... it wont change anything ....
and you can invite people to create new fediverse instances ...
if your governement attacks mastodon.social, it wont kill the fediverse ...
how do you stop account which are not on mastodon.social ?
You gonna block the instances they dont delete them even they respect the rules of these instances ?
@Deepsealioness
it's exactly what you dont understand .... fediverse cannot be controlled as you want ...
1) for me they are not silenced 😉
that's the concept of decentralization
2) blocking instances means that you take the risk to block innocent people (side effects)
3) what do you do with instances they disturb you ? (https://switter.at/ is a good example)
@thedarky @Deepsealioness As is always the case, it has never been a free speech issue. It is a case of reach. They are not silenced. They are just confined to their own echo chamber of misinformation and hate.
If their instance moderator cannot ensure that posts comply with the rules of a target instance, the target instance will stop peering with them
