We're defederating from newsie.social, because they're deliberately ('we don't silence 'different opinions') not moderating a transphobic user that's been reported from several instances and is actively harassing people.

We'll lift this suspension if newsie.social decide that maybe they shouldn't provide a platform for that kind of bigotry and that transphobia is not a 'difference in opinion'.

@Curator who is the moderator/originator of newsie.social? They came up early in my feed when I first joined Mastodon (and my default timeline was full of white men chatting with/boosting each other.) I felt I didn’t know enough to “join in” and was interested in other sources. They chase attention/donations a lot.
