It appears shadowbans are now standard fair over at mastodon.social. I contacted the admins to get their response, lets hope im mistaken, but the more I look into it the more corrupt the joinmastodon and mastodon.social organizations are starting to look. Uncovered some really nasty stuff these past few weeks.

I'll share the full details in a post later today. I'd like to see if the admins actually respond first.

@freemo Mastodon.social has been pretty bad in general. Looking at what and how they ban simply makes me cringe. They are supposed to be advocating the Fediverse, not stifling it. Looking at their blocklist shows that they block those with whom they disagree. They use "harassment" as a blanket term. Well, they never had issues with harassment with some of those instances, because they never federated with them to begin with.

An admin should only block another instance when they actually have problems with that instance, and there is no other way to resolve it.
