it seems that the ban is limited to climatejustice.social though I haven't checked every mastodon instance
@geantonicelli I doubt Musk cares at all or that Mastodon takes up any of his time. Is there any evidence for this claim of blocking links? Or just somebody from one instance saying it? People in general are very bias. If that were to happen to me, and it was true, I wouldn't post it without a screen recording showing that it's true. Makes the claim sound ridiculous without it.
@obi I stumbled with the case by chance, it's real but not for every instance
Tried posting that link to the Birdsite just now - I got a toast message that says it's been indentified as a dangerous link. Someone(s) has reported it, probably a climate crisis deny-er.
@obi @geantonicelli Well it's a reasonable assumption - it wooldn't be the 1st time. Have you tried any other mastodon links that don't originate from that instance??
@marathon0 Yup, links from all my instances. All work fine. Only other time I have seen links blocked there personally, were from certain porn sites, spam sites, and that NY Post Hunter Biden link. @geantonicelli
Ok, so there you go. I've experienced this happening many times with some of my posts, being that I'm in the GeoPolitics game, if people don't like what I'm saying they'll contact the admin of Facebook and/or Twitter etc., and all of a sudden posts won't go through. It's typical of social media. One just has to deal with it and move on.
@marathon0 Oh, I realize it happens, I just haven't seen a Mastodon instance get blocked by Twitter before. I like to know the why. But that's why we are on this instance, right. No real worries of getting what you say censored 😀 @geantonicelli
Are you kidding - Mastodon admins censor all the time! I was banned by some because I was critical of male athletes who became transgender women, and started competing against natural women, being an unfair advantage. Just saying.
@marathon0 Here, as in qoto, who does not censor. @geantonicelli
Sure, but we're only a tiny part of the Federation. Posts here get posted throughout the Fediverse, despite some instances that block us - for the wrong reasons I might add.
@marathon0 agreed, but that's the beauty of freedom. They are free to do what ever they want on their own instance. I choose the instance that allows free expression. @geantonicelli
@marathon0 and qoto has a much further reach than maybe you think. We talked about it last night here: https://qoto.org/@lucifargundam/109345978401605993 @geantonicelli
@obi
I'm not denying that. But we are blocked by some instances, hopefully fewer going forward.
@geantonicelli
@marathon0 True, and agreed. I don't think there is a better option though. Unfortunately can't control others, and out of the ones that are blocking qoto, I've only heard of 2 of them @geantonicelli
@marathon0 Maybe, maybe not. I don't usually like to guess, and would love to get to the truth behind it @geantonicelli
