We've silenced mastodon.se and will suspend in a week.

https://blog.mastodon.se/inl%C3%A4gg/%C3%A5siktspolis/

This is a blog post by the admin of mastodon.se where they acknowledge that they have 'anti-political-correctness' accounts, anti-abortionists, harassers, etc. (there are neo-nazi adjacent accounts on there), saying they won't action their accounts because they don't want to be the 'thought police'.

As these kinds of accounts directly threaten the safety of the marginalised people on .art, we'll be defederating.

Update clarification: I want to re-affirm that Mastodon.se has rules against xenophobia, transphobia, among other things, and we will uphold these rules. Nothing has changed on that front. The users who inspired this post had not broken any of those rules. This post was made to try and define how Mastodon.se will handle when reports come in for accounts that are simply openly affiliated with a certain political party, without having broken any rules yet.

@chad - something for mstdn.ca to consider as well?
@chad @Curator @okayherewego I’m wondering if we already are bc I just attempted to search for anyone on that instance and couldn’t find a thing.

Admittedly, I hadn't checked. I'm still getting to know how to use the app, which I understand is not yet feature-complete. I dont currently have a desktop so I'm just making do with this for now.

If you've not tried the mobile interface in a phone browser, do. I've not used any of the apps, but I've seen a few people who have say they prefer the mobile browser version.
