@nielsk My understanding is that servers can decide the rules which their users have to comply with. If not agreeing, one can use a different server or run an own server (which might be to much work for you to justify the benefits). So still more freedom than twitter, but you might have to run your own server (and then still others can choose to ignore you, but that's not different from real world).

@globalc @nielsk way more freedom than on Twitter, where you couldn't have a rule to have coronavirus content behind CW at all :)
Sorry that your client doesn't support content warnings, that sucks.

@pinkprius @globalc in the end it means I really have to use mastodon or give it up if I don’t use mastodon enough to keep up with eventual arbitrary rule changes.

@nielsk @globalc yes.

@nielsk @globalc I mean you could always toot, but not virus related I guess since your client doesn't support content warnings.

@pinkprius @globalc my “client” takes my blog posts and pushes them to twitter and mastodon. And I don’t know if I remember in a month that I am not allowed to post anything about the virus because of the mastodon-server. And in a year it is another topic people have problems with.
