Big boost of 72 users new users the last 24 hours (Usually its about 10 users a day here). Not sure how long it will last but I want to welcome you all. Feel free to message me anytime if you have questions or just want to chat.
For those of you curious of the source it is most likely coming from the drama regarding the Indian judge and Twitter. He was wrongfully banned there and made a public statement about moving to mastodon. Several people followed in his footsteps in protest.
I'd imagine most of us here probably left under similar circumstances, fear of abusive moderation.
@freemo apart from that there are massive troll armies of the ruling party in India which makes twitter a nasty place
@ppmanik That is a shame. I dont think we have any of those people here. If you come across any please let me know.
@freemo sure. I can identify them easily
@Karthikdeva Well thats why we have moderators. We require people to be respectful with eachother and not to engage people who have asked to be left alone.
So while a right-winger is of course most welcome here trolls from either side, left or right, would not be tolerated because of our rules. Ususally we just talk to them and it resolves itself, it rarely has to resort in a ban. Most people are pretty respectful when they are treated the same way, which is why its just not been an issue here really.
Slight correction. He is an eminent Lawyer and not judge. Also, the bird site was found heading by a RW person as their India head. They violated their own policy and provided "Verified" account to people connected with terrorism and scams while eminent artists were turned down. No actions were taken against bigots inspite of extreme filth.
@freemo correction: Not judge but senior lawyer of Supreme Court of India Mr @sanjayuvacha
@freemo It's not an Indian judge but a lawyer.
A minor correction, he is a Supreme Court senior advocate and not a judge.
@freemo one small correction it's not a judge but a supreme court advocate @sanjayuvacha
@freemo I would like to volunteer for moderator.
@freemo Lawyer, not judge: @sanjayuvacha
