@danie10 @danie10 Fediverse is a predominantly left-wing network that takes pride in silencing their oposition and Mastodon is the worst of all. Caucasians only make 10% of world's population and white people are somehow always the problem. It's very common to see left-wingers trashing Christianity and the conservatives on the Fediverse but none of them dares to talk the same way about Islam. I know we talked about this already but I can't stand hypocrisy.
@flav it may be that is how the initial instances started up, but there is no policy about who can start an an instance and anyone can can have their own rules. The issue is how they affect other instances who have different rules. The same goes for far left and right - should be no difference. No-one should be trashing anything.
@danie10 For me free speech is more important than the Fediverse and not everyone have the skills setup his own server. I agree nobody should be trashing anything but it happens on the Fediverse all the time, and It's not the right wingers. Just last night I was on Diaspora and I saw a person posting crap about Christianity. I'm not even religious but it's part of my heritage and I don't see them talking the same about Islam. That would be Islamophobic of course.
@flav I tend to deal with issues and people on what they say or do, not a label attached to a belief. All politics and religion is subjective and there is no convincing anyone otherwise. It's wasted effort. But freedom of speech is balanced with a freedom to hear, and should never be inciting harm or hatred - politics and religion follows the mantra tho of "I'm right for no reason and you are wrong". So let me say I hate politics and religion. I judge anyone by deeds.
@danie10 Hate speech can often be speech you don't like to hear and if you are the admin you have the power to just ban that person. That's why I prefer the US first amendment based platforms. I've tried a pleroma instance called free speech extremist but there's too much racist comments for my taste.
@flav racsism exists absolutely everwhere but it is usually minorities within groups, yet they are heard the most. For every two peopple commenting on my posts about etch, there are 1,000 plus others saying nothing. I've learnt those 0,2% are not the majority, nor will the other 99,8% say much. That is fine. On tech we can have opposing debates, but it is usually the context that differs (same in life actually). I'm not going to change the world.
