  >You refer to some mysterious "decision" they made, but what was it? I tried to keep less specific because it doesn't matter to a great deal. We both lack a tardis and cannot change the past. https://archive.ph/0JFR9 https://archive.ph/0JFR9 I'm not a gab user, I got an awesome username but it's a shitty echo chamber worse than anywhere else. Fundamentally "Gab" forked mastodon because masotodon banned them off the fediverse. But more importantly mastodon made it clear they do not represent free speech and have the ability to remove political opponents. There's tons of speech on GAB and what percentage is 'hate speech'? can you even define hate speech really? It's not all speech on the platform. The correct way to read the blog is they banned their political opponents because they have free speech policies. This was a huge mistake for mastodon. Something they can basically never recover from. One of the persistent issues in political polarization has been labelling your political opponents. Republicans are all nazis?
