It should have occurred to you that my todon.eu account has been suspended. This toot will explain the situation and how you can help.

So to quote their notice of suspension fully,

“You can no longer use your account, and your profile and other data are no longer accessible. You can still login to request a backup of your data until the data is fully removed in about 30 days, but we will retain some basic data to prevent you from evading the suspension.

This is about a post on ni.hil.ist (https://ni.hil.ist/@alks/111573806543486144) you posted before on todon.eu and was deleted. You also had a warning and a few times after that, also because of glorification of violence. What you post on ni.hil.ist is not our concern, although I reported that post to the moderators of ni.hil.ist. Still it's their decision what to do with it.

This is not ACAB, this is feasting on the dead corpses of cops (that are also people, bastard people, but still people). In the video cops are killed, so it's a kind of snuff video. There is even footage that terrorists are killing (probably, cause no uniforms) police.

What you post on other servers is your concern, but we don't want to have anything to with it. We will therefore suspend you on todon.eu and wish you good luck finding a place that accepts your posts (maybe you already did).

Reason: Content violates the following community guidelines

· We do not accept glorification of violence, calls for murder, death threats, terrorism and militarism.”

Now, to quote my appeal fully,

“I did not post this on todon.eu, I posted another one from the same archive.org account which lasted 7 hours and that you *did not*, in fact, deleted. You even said in our private conversation about ‘i thought this was amerika’ which **linked** the post you are talking about "moderators job is nuanced you see" in response to me pointing the absurdity of deleting my “Kill a cop, save lives.” post. You are contradicting yourself. I demand my account be reinstated immediately.“

My appeal has been rejected.

The two videos in question actually display the same content, the one i posted on todon is just longer [https://archive.org/details/copsgettingfuckedupcompilation]. And to precise, their statement saying "moderators job is nuanced" was in response to me specifically pointing out to this toot linking to the ‘Cops Getting Fucked Up’ video, in essence meaning "Why did you delete ‘Kill a cop, save lives.’ and not the toot linking to the videos where cops are literally getting killed". As they did not, in fact, delete that toot they are claim they deleted and content for which my account on todon.eu has been suspended, because their job is “nuanced, you see”.

The posts that were flagged for glorification of violence are the one stating “Kill a cop, save lives.” as I said. The others were actually copied at the back of a zine which you can find here https://north-shore.info/2023/11/09/zine-no-more-colonial-states/ here https://actforfree.noblogs.org/2023/12/04/zine-no-more-colonial-states/ or even here https://www.sproutdistro.com/2023/12/03/november-zines-1223/.
Granted, a mastodon instance does not have the same standard as counter-info site or online distros.

I frankly don’t remember which notice flagged which toot but essentially the exchange went like:

“Some of your posts have been found to violate one or more community guidelines and have been subsequently removed by the moderators of todon.eu.

Sabotage, boycotting, all okay, but no explicit call for violence. This is not the first time you are in this situation, so remember not to this again.”

to which I pointed out a toot which said the exact same thing, thereby reporting myself.

“Some of your posts have been found to violate one or more community guidelines and have been subsequently removed by the moderators of todon.eu.

As I told you before, we rely on other users reports, so we don't surveillance your posts 24x7. But thank you for reporting yourself.
Again, it's about the call for violence (burn, destroy). Especially the call to burn and destroy Israeli embassies is problematic, because that can give us legal problems. So try the BDS thing again, but without the burn and destroy part.”

To which I responded “Palestinians are being genocided on a unprecedented scale. You good German! 🖕” and received a warning for insult.

Again, this is all in response to the #BurnDestroySabotage text with the list of potential targets mentioned above.

I quit todon.eu because I felt like I was self-censoring, but also to avoid my work being unilaterally censored on that platform if I slipped again. Yet out of complete disrespect for my work, it was removed nonetheless. And I was still using my account on todon.eu to refer back to the work I made on there before they suspended my account.
Those who have been following me know that when I reported this back in October, I said something like “don’t give the admins shit, they got enough of it already.”
Well, now you can give them shit: contact todon.eu's admin and demand that

1) My account be reinstated
2) They apologize for this unjust action
3) They pledge not to reiterate something like this again

Be polite, but direct. You can just link this toot if you want to.

Anyway, thanks for those who will consider helping.
