What irks me the most is the spinelessness of a lot of mods. Shadow banning and banning without an explanation just striffling free speech without acountability. Freedom of expression should not be subject to the whims of individuals!
If this gets me banned than you are worse than spez
OP has. Topic is on the table. I’m not specifically saying you. When you said “non-solution,” what is the problem you were referencing?
I think OP is basically asking how he can be sure that he will not get silenced unjustly or atleast what they consider unjust. Another user suggested making their own instance, to which I pointed out that it’s not going to solve OP’s problem as he can still get banned and have messages removed.
Ah. Well, I still think that’s about as close as OP is going to get. There’s a difference between “being silenced” and another instance defederating from you.
This reminds me of a time my mother came home from the voting place, deflated because one of the election measures had not gone her way. She said she was disappointed in democracy, because she had done her part and voted and it STILL didn’t go her way.
I didn’t think that was a reasonable complaint. Getting your way, guaranteed, is not a reasonable expectation for anyone, pretty much anywhere. By the same token, I don’t think OP has an actual “problem” here so there isn’t going to be a solution.
