@Karthikdeva Mastodon is so anti-celebrity it can be harmful too.They drove at least one celebrity away in tears and he was a nice gut (Wil Wheaton).
@Karthikdeva I always say that int eh Fediverse when you pick a server the main thing you are deciding on is if you trust the way in which the moderators will carry out their duties. That, hopefully, means there is a balance between acting and not acting that you are ok with.
At QOTO thats why we make our moderation decisions public and we welcome anyone to comment on it before we decide.
@freemo That's assuring :)
But,
'Right' thing/ Just thing to do and Public opinion may not be the same every time . If only we can co-exist and work out our differences.
@Karthikdeva I was one of Wil's allys while he was here trying to defend him, saying much of what you said.
Its one of the main reasons my follower count is so high.
@freemo I just read about him.
If Wil Wheaton is saying the truth i.e. he was forced to leave the platform because multiple users reported him (for apparently no valid reason) then it begs for many questions.
Since moderators are the ones who control the instances they need to follow the same rules they set themselves & not fall for mobs/ trolls/ mass reporting.
As much I have differences in opinion with various users, I'd still love to converse in a decent way. I wouldn't support reporting, Unless of course if we cross the threshold limit.
(Based on what I understood from the blog post of Wil Wheaton & The Verge article)
