@UlrikeHahn aka right to be an unhinged troll without consequence.
I don't do content moderation anymore because I only have one life to live but I'd encourage anyone still modding anywhere to just start banning MAGA if you haven't already & save yourself a headache later.

@UlrikeHahn Sounds like a way to protect the "big online platforms" from possible competitors also. Increase the barrier to entry by making moderation onerous and expensive.
the other clear agenda item there is to hamper/end research on mis- and disinformation
the Trump internet agenda looks to be setting the US on a collision course with the EU that I’m not sure US tech companies are going to be able to square….
it seems like it will come to matter even more that Mastodon is not US based, but rather an EU company
@UlrikeHahn
That's right. Mastodon suffers from that too.

I just learned by third hand that everyone in @mastodon.social is limited in @mathstodon.xyz. (popular mathematics mastodon).
@mathstodon.xyz site says for me "Moderated servers: This information has not been made available on this server"
Effectively it affects comments and discussions with people in the other site.
@UlrikeHahn will they be allowed to write "cis" on X?
“when users of big online platforms have their content or accounts removed, throttled, shadow-banned, or otherwise restricted no matter what name they use, they should have the right to be informed that it’s happening, the right to a specific explanation of the reason why, and the right to a timely appeal. In addition, all users over the age of 18 should have the right to opt-out of content moderation and curation entirely, and receive an unmanipulated stream of information if they so choose.”
