So I decided to post the article I wrote (linked below) on twitter and am going to dump some money into promoting it there. Gotta get some attention to this. Go boost over on twitter if you'd like.

Eugen Rochko, CEO of Mastodon, Caves to Nazi's Agenda

@Gargron

@freemo it's a shame what happened to your community. But i can also see the reasons for Eugens decision. The joinmastodon page should only list servers which are well suited for new users. If the instance is blocked by many other servers, the user is going to have a bad time.

@bitpirate Eugene could have discussed this in a private forum but with the decision made public based on public policy, spreading light and clarity in the process. Eugene elected not to do that and resorted to skulldugery instead. There was a point made, it had nothing to do with new users beyond being part of the toolset to punish @freemo. His actions appear pretty clear on the point to be taken from this. If there's another point, he could still bring transparency and clarity to the process used.
