Mastodon is a federated service, like e-mail. Would you use an e-mail server where the admin reads messages delivered to your inbox and deletes the ones they don’t like?
- archagon 8mo agoUh, you mean like a spam filter? I would not use an e-mail service without one.
- xigoi 8mo agoNo. A spam filter still allows you to view the e-mails and reply to them if you want to. Also, I would certainly not want an e-mail service where the spam filter is based on the admin’s political opinions.
- philistine 8mo agoMastodon is exactly like email. Try running a nazi newsletter off of Gmail and see what happens.
- xigoi 8mo agoGmail, maybe. There are a plenty of providers that respect your privacy and don’t read your e-mails. Also, I’d like to see if anyone has ever been banned from Gmail for sending an e-mail saying that hating all men is not nice.
