Sp I wrote a pretty lengthy blog post entitled:

Eugen Rochko, CEO of Mastodon, Found to Support Nazi’s Agenda

Sadly I wish it was clickbait.

You can all read it here:

It is the pinnacle of the recent drama. I will also be sharing it on twitter, linking the joinmastodon account there. I tried to include most of the evidence in the article. Hopefully this will have some positive result

@Gargron @trinsec @khird

@freemo

So, it really is click bait because it's not true that he supports a nazi's agenda. I read the whole blog post and can't see how that's true.

Did he handle a situation badly? Maybe. Does he support nazis? Not from anything I can see in your post. Did he support you and your community? No. Sorry about that.

Also, it's not clear how delisting from the join site harmed your users. Could you expand on that?

I'm really sorry for what you and your community have been through.

@Elephantidae @freemo I am an example of someone who recently found Qoto from the join site. I think that the issue seems to speak to a serious question as to whether or not Mastodon is a decentralized federation or if from a practical standpoint, it has access determined by one person. And of course, I joined this instance because I felt it best met my interests, but also so I could interact with others in different instances.

Succumbing to the strategy of an attack by nefarious agents doesn't make Mastodon a safe or a welcoming place. All instances ought to see that as a vulnerability that needs to be combated.
