@ashfurrow@mastodon.technology What does that matter? Since these days people use fascist to describe virtually anyone they disagree with politically I think it should be painfully clear that the policy you propose is both dangerous and reckless.
Then again you're style of discussion is very immature. So I dont really have high hopes for a useful response.
@ashfurrow@mastodon.technology You're entire mind-set boils down to "I think something is wrong, and everyone has to agree with me". Sure, on people like Alex jones it sounds great because most sane people can agree on him. But of course it never ends there and the damage done and the book burning that results is always so much worse than the Alex Jones morons that were so easily ignored.
@ashfurrow@mastodon.technology I'm protecting everyones right. That tends to mean fascists get the same rights as everyone else. But it also means when someone calls you a fascist (and you dont agree with them) you will be equally protected.
Also lets be clear NO ONE is saying you need to tolerate them. Block the guy ( I know I did). Create shared block lists with him on it so everyone who wants to blocks him. I never claimed you had to tolerate him, only that if OTHER people wish to tolerate him they have that right. If you live in a healthy society however very few people will, regardless of him having an account or not.

@ashfurrow@mastodon.technology Obviously I'm well aware of that. When you get on the internet you don't "Own" the hardware at your ISP either. One could also argue that ISP's should be allowed to censor whatever they want because they don't want to give ideas a "platform" on the servers they provide. I would say thats wrong for the exact same reason (and why I strongly support net-neutrality).
Social Media is in many ways the same idea, and absolutely no place to enact censorship.
@LWFlouisa I hate you :)
@Crybaby Love the eyes.
@Gargron I'd like that but for full disclosure my mastodon.social account isnt my main account though.
@mayel You're welcome. I think it was a really cool idea, most people dont know how easy it is.
@fenwick67@octodon.social
Thanks. I'll take a closer look and see if that is what is happening.
@arteteco
@jotbe As much as I despise anything Alex Jones has to say this is just disgusting :( I'm glad we have ActivityPub / Mastodon so this is no longer an issue.
