Wichtige Anmerkung von Mastodon-Gründer @Gargron, wie Meinungsfreiheit oft uminterpretiert wird - schlimmstenfalls als Freiheit, andere fertig zu machen
Aus diesem Interview mit ihm, das generell sehr lesenswert ist: https://time.com/6229230/mastodon-eugen-rochko-interview/ (via @mathewi)
"I specifically disagree with his stance on free speech, because I think that it depends on your interpretation of what free speech means. If you allow the most intolerant voices to be as loud as they want to, you’re going to shut down voices of different opinions as well. So allowing free speech by just allowing all speech is not actually leading to free speech, it just leads to a cesspit of hate."
"And through that, we make sure that we curate the list in such a way that any server that wants to be promoted by us has to agree to a certain basic set of rules, one of which is that no hate speech is allowed, no sexism, no racism, no homophobia, or transphobia."
"The internet is full of spam. It’s full of abuse, of course. Mastodon provides the facilities necessary to deal with unwanted content, both on the user end and on the operator end."
"I’ve been fighting for this for a long time, I started working on Mastodon in 2016, back then I had no ambitions of it going far at all. (...) And from then on I have been working very, very hard to make this platform as accessible and as easy to use for everyone as possible. And to push the idea forward, that there is a better way to do social media than what the commercial companies allow."
