Mastodawn

Ralf Rottmann Jul 7, 2023

This behavior is - in part - why I decided to shut down my Mastodon instance, once the home of ~40k users. "ordnung" is the team behind chaos.social, a fairly large instance. Instance based censorship, in this case even proactively, is the #1 problem on Mastodon and it has sadly become a disease. They should leave these decisions up to their users. Instead, they assume the role of some super powerful governing board, hurting the fediverse in the long run.

@ralf I agree to your judgement here but want to add one perspective to this:
Maybe this is already a decision of users on this instance? They support this kind of behavior by their instance admins.

@dnns Likely true for a part of the users. Native support for instance-wide polls would be a means to make these decisions based on democratic principles. Otherwise, it's just micro corporations often taking a moral stance towards large corporations. Which is completely hilarious.
