Agreed. It seems apparent that he likes to think that he's for freedom and federation, when he's really in favor of using his position and power to lock down the fediverse to only voices he likes.

I've never seen gab. But I'm bothered by his demands, which have been met, for the app developers to build in blocks so no one can use any apps to connect to instances he doesn't like. It seems a fascist way to run a platform, going by the dictionary definition as far as it can fit in a context like this - centralized authority, using that power for blocking diversity of opinion, etc.

But it's said to be anti fascist. And maybe there are fascists he's opposed to ( but I'm not sure... Are they centralizing power to shut down opposing views, or is there some other expression of fascism that applies to them?), but even so, being a fascist to stop fascists doesn't seem to be the right approach. Being X to stop people who are X in general seems to be a silly idea, whatever the X is.
