I’ll throw a little fuel to the fire here: half this conversation is just invisible entirely to a reasonable portion of my followers, or even a significant amount of the fedi in general, because of fediblock antics.

I recently even uncovered a very critical vulnerability in Mastodon a couple days ago, tried reporting it via email, didn’t have any response at least for at least 2 days, and would like to ping the respective developers on mastodon.social, but I can’t: because mastodon.social just abruptly blocked my server entirely some many months ago, without any report or warning, and I legitimately don’t know what it was over. (Sidenote: the report did finally get acknowledged and a patch is scheduled)

And this is ironic because I’m not a very outspoken in-your-face debater, and rarely do I ever bring up partisan subjects. Because of fediblock, most people on this instance just dropped fedi entirely, or jumped to another server (and some even continue to keep server-hopping, just to inch around it). There’s one follower I believe that has jumped 5 servers now.

The only post of mine that’s any semblance of controversial, despite trying to carefully address the subject with kid gloves and not leave room for any allusions is: https://were.social/notice/ATLhhFil4BF8VHsHNg

The emphasis of the post is more on the subject of mental health, and the nature of information when dealing with someone in-person versus as a spectator online, and just by nature of it being about a trans person of something depicted in anything less than stellar, that it’s deemed “transphobic”. If that’s the thing to get a whole server banned (including by mastodon.social), then I don’t even know what degree of discourse can even be had. I don’t know what level of debate is even remotely possible anymore at this point, if people can’t handle sensitive subjects as these.
