@RobertTables@mastodon.social @4of92000 I take the position that who is silenced for you should be up to you (ie you can block them). It should not be up to some overlord to block who you see on your behalf.
@eweish1@mastodon.social @realtoddhoward@mastodon.social @some_qualia Same face I made at that one :)
@RobertTables@mastodon.social @4of92000 I disagree, there are several HUGE mastodon instances that are explicitly devoted to the political right.
@4of92000 @RobertTables@mastodon.social I agree, me and my server are a free speech zone. I'm not a fan of censorship no matter how much i dislike the person.
@some_qualia @peptostate haha :)
@realtoddhoward@mastodon.social @eweish1@mastodon.social @some_qualia chaser?
@Chinchillazilla Must be new tactic. They always seemed to ban people on both sides in the past :(
@eweish1@mastodon.social @some_qualia Then let me be the first to welcome the new lovely trans community to our shores :)
@peptostate @some_qualia lol, i dunno we have righties here too. Its a decent balance.
@modulux Ahh interesting. Good. You've made the right choice :)
@4of92000 :)
@4of92000 ahhh i see, ok I can understand that perspective.
@some_qualia @zoeferal Not surprising. I've had the same experience from people both on the right and the left. Most americans are extremist and intolerant on either end of the spectrum. Though there can be exceptions on both sides too.
@4of92000 you mean libertarian / right? I tend to agree (just dont see libertarian and right as all that related).
@some_qualia @zoeferal I;m not a righty or a lefty. I find both extremes to be hard to deal with personally.
@4of92000 fair, their censorship of people in general drove me away.
