If I understand it right, the moderator of the mastodon.world instance has blocked several posts by Hasnain Kazim, as Kazim reported yesterday on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/661473263/posts/10163657720033264/
Kazim is a quite famous and successful book author in Germany and something between left, conservative and liberal. He was journalist for the most important German weekly news magazine Spiegel. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hasnain_Kazim?wprov=sfla1
Canceling his posts is stupid and certainly completely exaggerated. To me from the external perspective it seems that the moderator is abusing his power. He is damaging free and respectful discussion. Furthermore, when a famous person like Kazim reports those experiences to his broad audience, who do not understand the functioning of the fediverse, the moderator also damages Mastodon in general significantly, it seems to me.
What do you think about this case ?
Thank you for proving my point.
I am very likely to be killed myself, though whether by the Left or Right is anyone's guess at this point.
The two are not so dissimilar after all - since the right claims to be correct while the left says that bOtH sIdEs SaMe, hence don't bother voting, which amounts to the same outcome.
In fairness, I should have said that the "left" and right are similar, since the left is more like "genocide is always wrong" whereas the "left" is like "genocide is only wrong when done by oThEr SiDe BaD" (i.e. Russia, China, and North Korea can do no wrong).
