He posts this, but still no mention of our situation or any attempt to have a conversation on it... shameful.. seems he looks after his own ass, his own server, but really dont give a rats ass about when it hurts other instances.
@freemo i think it's a combination of german leftwing being very much anti free speech combined with fears about risking support from the german government which also hates free speech - mastodon gGmbH is a tax exempt company after all ;)
We no longer reference free speech in our ToC partly for that reason.
@bonifartius Functionally its not a change at all.. We just say "Academic Freedom" instead, which honestly is a better descriptor anyway.
I agree it is a shame we had to do it, but it doesnt really change anything.
@bonifartius I agree, it is wrong...
@freemo for me it feels just wrong that qoto is bullied into doing these things while it always was a nice place with nice people who discuss things in a civil way. maybe with opposing ideas but not in bad faith.
