📣 #SocialByoblu shuts down, again, forever. They claim they haven't enough resources to handle moderation and to protect themselves from political exploitation. Suddenly "#freespeech" becomes a burden their € 0.5mln network can't afford, whereas they have always claimed that others should bear the responsibility for their own actions. That is not free speech, that is free-riding others' tools against others' will and safety. 1/2

❤️ We'd like to thank all the #fediverse inhabitants who stood ready to #isolateByoblu without any fuss, understanding the danger of federating with #Byoblu. In particular, we thank who, motivated by International solidarity, overcame language- and culture-specific barriers. Thanks to our sibling campaign @[email protected] et al. #isolateGab that paved the way for such initiatives in the fediverse. Special thanks to @mastohost who deeply studied the case, eventually de-platforming Byoblu. 2/2
