Hiding in The (meritocratic) Outside of the Asylum
@quinn Well …
I voted with my feet, in 2017.
So did you.
@anneroth
Wieso das denn???
Hast du schon dreimal verleugnet, dass eine Zukunft der Linken in Deutschland
—wohl oder übel—
nur mit dem BSW zu machen ist?

It's not a conspiracy theory when it gets reduced to practice.
@freemo,
THANKS for the clarification in what sense qoto.org is a safe space.
I found it necessary to ask for
—and get—
your idea what constitutes sense of moderation in such matters as
@baldengineer @48kRAM
@freemo :
Beware of
Savonarola's vermin.

Please make sure that fanatics like
@baldengineer
@48kRAM
may have their say,
but never get to shout down and cancel anyone based on absurd accusations
on this site.

@freemo
The problem of
"This must be canceled, because someone might be offended"
shows up in a lot of Fediverse content "moderation".
If instance content moderation seeks to protect the feelings —and identity— of anyone who feels offended, or just claims that someone else may be offended, and files a complaint,
an instance adhering to such moderation principles will effectively get censored by an
HOA of Karens.
Case in point:
In Elon Musk's cesspit, where you can say anything and get totally shadow banned,
https://x.com/Tatzelbrumm/status/1819464641380340170
I made a comment on Simone Biles loving her "black job" as "Greatest of all time"
with a mashup picture of Surya Bonali's blackbody radiation.
The HOA of Karens doing content policing at fediscience.org
cancelled it for "racism".
For your principled stance against such nonsense,
qoto.org
is blacklisted as "free speech area" at a lot of Fediverse instances where people who matter to me still have their primary presence.
