Did you just completely ignore the other half of my post?
GNU Social is free speech. It is federated across servers. No one of the instances can ban you from the network completely.
quitter.se /is not unmoderated and does not advertise as such/. It is one instance in the GNU Social network. It can ban you for posting hatespeech, and the owner (and the nonprofit company that it's under) has no obligation to host people's vitriol if he doesn't want to.
I'm not going to try and defend quitter.se's terms of service because I don't believe in them /nor are they relevant to the network on a whole/. Take it up with @hannes2peer@quitter.se, but there's really no reason to when you can host your own instance and just pretend his censorship doesn't happen.
It's more analogous to email than twitter: you can post to other email servers. People from other email servers can post to you. But your email server is free to kick you off or blacklist all emails from another one if it wants to, while you can move to any other server if your host is being abusive.
- dilap 11y agoSorry, I should have been more clear -- I was just commenting on quitter.se specifically, not GNU Social as a whole.
