@jenniferplusplus and I'm trans and I don't want an organization that regularly features hateful fascism to have free reign. No one is restricting your access. You still can get your BBC any which way you care.

There are plenty of other news sources out there, and you are free to move to another server whose moderation polices fit you better.

@jenigrant @jenniferplusplus
Blocking actual news sources is very scary and a slippery slope in my opinion. You might not like the writing style and carelessness of the journalists, but having one or two people deciding what news you can and can't see is very scary, when in history has this ever turned out good?

It's very easy for the individual user to block everything from a specific instance. I definitely understand why having a safe space important, but why should that be forced upon you?

@CodexNotFound @jenigrant @jenniferplusplus leaving it purely to users to block means unless they do it preemptively they have to encounter the bigotry at least once per block target. plus just kinda wastes one of the main benefits of the fediverse which is it's tight moderation making it a comparatively safe place for lgbt people like me.

idk. would you be making this same argument if this was breitbart creating a fedi server? Still a 'news' network, after all.
