Is there a Mastodon server in Australia that is more robust in content than Aus.social? I like the server but despite toning down my content a lot, still running afoul of the mods.

It is just a simple thing, but I would like the conversation level I enjoyed at Twitter, but without the twitter bullshit. But I am discovering new bullshit here. Which is a shame as I think Mastodon is the answer to my social media needs, but the federated nature means learning what the gatekeepers will allow.

Based on the Aus.socual mods post I cannot boost this toot without content warning because I do not have shared experiences on transgender, US state politics. That is exactly what the mods message actually says! https://mastodon.social/@Drdind/109952782391383897

Because the mods at aus.social think adding barriers to opinion is good

(when sharing articles or discussing political issues that don’t impact you personally (ie outside of your lived experiences))

Means if you study something you need to protect others by CW?

This is insulting especially if you want to promote a discussion or highlight a problem, I have to set up a barrier to my content because I HAVE NOT LIVED THE EXPERIENCE!!!

The funny thing is I like the content warning option, but I find it overused as many items under the CW flag would fail the legal reasonable person test on offensiveness.

Because posting here " when sharing articles or discussing political issues that don’t impact you personally (ie outside of your lived experiences"

AKA commentary, is not encouraged here (thanks @AusSocialMods for that disgusting censorship standard) I should consider moving.

But since I am still on the horrid website as it moves from dumpster fire to collapsing at the molecular level I will stay here. But since I have not lived but studied history a lot more than most people in social media, a lot of my content will be CW.

But I am still bloody angry. Not Angry From Mayfair level of angry, as I don't have the style or money to look that fabulous.

It's really bad. Makes Google front page look like the golden age of the Fairfax mastheads (Before Warwick) (hence the CW, as I have not the shared experience of a company trashing scion of a great family)
Sorry, but as someone who's tasted cheese from all over the world, I have to say it - American cheese is overrated. It's time for the US to step up its game and produce cheese that actually deserves the hype. #ControversialCheeseOpinions #USCheese

Well done, you are creating a worse experience than Twitter mk 1.

One thing the Robodebt has shown is the lust for power and the professional careerist politician career path has destroyed many of the conventions that used to moderate political over reach.

Wonder what sacred cow will be slaughtered next? Lying to parliament?

As I don't have life experience as Superman, I need to CW this.

Saw this in an article about DC/Manga adaptions:

Or just for the Superman story, also by Satoshi Miyagawa and Kai Kitago, in which he goes shopping for lunch, and that's it, for not having the requisite superheroic action within its pages.

THIS IS THE CONTENT I WANT AND NEED! https://mlpnk72yciwc.i.optimole.com/cqhiHLc.IIZS~2ef73/w:auto/h:auto/q:75/https://bleedingcool.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/superman-1.jpg
