I am running out of words in happiness becuase most of them from India are flocking towards #fediverse as a sign of protest against the bird site.

Welcome to fediverse you all. Damn we have been waiting for you people so so long. Events after events we people from Free Software Movement of India were giving lecture and demo about decentralized web, peer to peer, etc and all it took was one move by Twitter. Thanks Twitter.

Fediverse is a open garden. Find your place. Go explore. Also beware there are dark places too where anti social elements like fascists and pro hindutuva breeds. I don't want to mention the name of that instance and give an unwanted attention to them. But beware and you can mute their posts if you don't want to hear them.
@prashere Absolutely! We are here for the cause. Free speech and voices that matters. Appreciate all those who are involved in making it a success. I just have one concern, how will y'all deal with hate accounts? Birdsite didn't care much. Days happened, months passed, yet they thrive. Would like to know about some serious steps that will be taken to control such propaganda/hate pelters. Do share with us.

I believe it is neither beneficial to our society nor to our individual freedom to demand or exercise central oversight in exchange for short-term superficial unity.

@openscience I agree. The best way to counter speech you think is wrong is to speak what you think is right.
