It hasn't been long ago where there was news about right-wingers being kicked off of platforms and then the response by the HN public was "they're a private platform, they can kick people off for any reason they want. Nobody owes you a platform". Why wouldn't that same argument apply here?
- kalleboo 3y agoThe first time I learned about Mastodon was years ago when some libertarian-leaning podcasters I listened to moved there along with their audience due to being unhappy about centralized Twitter moderation (and no, not at all related to Gab or Truth or any of those). They're silenced or defederated from most other instances because a lot of their kin are douchebags I also wouldn't want to associate with, but they still have their own place to be and I respect that they actually walked with their eyeballs away from the centralized service while all their outrage-starved brethren stayed while complaining about the platform they kept on boosting.
