https://time.com/6229230/mastodon-eugen-rochko-interview/ https://time.com/6229230/mastodon-eugen-rochko-interview/ seems like you are probably at least technically right/correct -- at least for now -- as far as my understanding of the platform goes, and the stated intentions of the founder. the founder talks a lot about how he/mastodon, thru the apps, can effectively demote hate servers/people, by not recommending them to new users. and that, to me, is not technically full on blocking/censoring -- so you would be correct. maybe it would be a bit like a quarantined subreddit -- not officially/fully blocked/banned -- just mostly/practically. a bit later he also talks about servers banding together to outright block 'hate servers'. > Additionally, we also act as a guide for anyone who wants to join. Because on our website, and our apps, we provide a default list of curated servers that people can make accounts on. And through that, we make sure that we curate the list in such a way that any server that wants to be promoted by us has to agree to a certain basic set of rules, one of which is that no hate speech is allowed, no sexism, no racism, no homophobia, or transphobia. And through that, we ensure that the association between Mastodon, the brand, and the experience that people want is that of a much safer space than something like Twitter.
