@esty This appears to no longer be the case according to their about: https://mastodon.green/about they are now open to world-wide membership Is there some kind of appeals process or can I just @socrates to ask them to reconsider this moderation decision? There are a few cybersecurity people there I'd like to follow.

@RichardJActon @esty I'm aware, I just haven't updated the reasons

It's still run by the same Albin (Latin for white) Social, it still has the racist "European languages" rule, it still is doing some eco-scam thing and I just haven't updated the reasons for blocking it

@socrates @esty Do you have any specific reason to think their 'plant for the planet' thing is a scam beyond the baseline high prevalence of scams in this space? Accusations of racism feel like a bit of a reach based on a European languages rule and a name that can mean white. Not everyone can moderate effectively in every language. There's a fair few academic types there from a glance over their directory.
