John AravosisSo, Mastodon just banned a post I made sharing a Newsweek article about the horrific crackdown in Iran. Yes, now Newsweek articles about the brave women in Iran are too much for you folks over here. Your community guidelines are actively harming marginal communities and the international human rights struggle. Just think about that, and think about the women in Iran, the next time you complain that it's too much to bear that some guy shared a Newsweek story.
I'm on the verge of publicly recommending that no one come over to Mastodon. Is there any server that isn't overrun by the always-offended crowd? We're talking folks who don't think all political posts are offensive, that food posts should be behind a trigger warning, and that posts sharing Newsweek article about the struggle of women in Iran aren't offensive and in need of deletion? Does any server meet these criteria?
Andrew Leahey@Aravosis 👋 https://esq.social for legal and legally-adjacent folks. I think we meet your requirements, provided one's political posts don't come with swastikas and prominently-featured eagles.
