  • Censorship is a valid moderation tool, no one necessarily disagrees with that; but censorship without a valid reason is not valid moderation. If you don’t like Meta, then I guess that’ fine; but I don’t necessarily have any problem with it from a “it exists” perspective and sharing space with users from that space may (or may not) add to our communities; we don’t really know at this point, but for some reason we are already advocating FULL censorship of the platform? I don’t see valid reasons from you or anyone else in this ““THREAD”” outside of fearmongering.

    And yes, you’re right; de-federation EXISTS in the tool, so does blocking; why not use the latter on an individual – personal – user level, instead of this massive preemptive censorship campaign that is really – just – based on personal politics and almost nothing else? And just because a tool exists doesn’t mean it should be used; you use it when it’s appropriate, not because it simply exists.

    *you also vastly overlooked my point aobut biggotry and hate speech regarding censorship; don’t really appreciate being strawman’d but whatever.
