Twitter just makes me sad now.

@mollyjongfast I've noticed since 2000 that right wing trolls organize to destroy platforms where their opponents congregate.

Mastodon should be better able to take an attack on the public good the wat Elon did it.

@ParanoidFactoid @mollyjongfast I could imagine a situation where Ron DeSantis decrees Mastodon servers aren't allowed to ban Nazis. Then all the servers based in Florida would get overrun by Nazis, but every other server in the world could just de-federate the Florida servers to fix it, and then the real people on Florida servers would just need to migrate their profiles to an out-of-state server. I can see all this happening but the Fediverse would just isolate the cancer and continue on.

@tf @mollyjongfast I mean, that would be a direct 1st Amendment violation. Though let's assume right wing kooks have captured government and don't care.

OK, if you're a Nazi, Mastodon.social is bot where you want to create an account because it resides in Germany. Where there are hate speech laws. This is analogous to your argument. Nazis will create servers where such laws don't exist.

But.. nobody in the community will federate with them. Like Gab.
