Mastodon•ART 🎨 CuratorDec 26, 2022

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.

@Curator I hope one day that people realize that ignoring a problem or not stopping it = supporting the problem

@Hydaelyn @LibreNyaa @Curator I kinda gave up reading at the phrase:
"I've known gay people all my life".

@Hydaelyn @LibreNyaa @Curator Do you reckon he had a black friend at school once, too?
