Steven BeschlossWhen a school board, a library or a state bans books, it’s not a show of strength. It’s a sign they’re ruled by fear. Fear of knowledge. Fear of opposing views. Fear of democracy.

@StevenBeschloss what about banning mastodon instances?
Big Dan T@yomismo @StevenBeschloss I new to mastodon so I missed where they are banning books for a entire state, o r anywhere. Did I miss something or is this just another false “what about ism”?
@biddant @StevenBeschloss there are many books in the world, Mein Kampf is one of them, there has been a mastodon instance lately that has been banned from other instances because of some antisemitism comments. I do not understand why books must not be banned while other opinion forums are.
I'm against any kind of opinion banning , though I am against misinformation.
Banning either books or opinions is not the way to go, no matter what those books or opinions are.
