   These people hate journalists but appreciate humor. If you make them laugh you might be able to win them over.
   
   There's a rift on the Fediverse with two sides: free speech and pro-censorship. The two sides are normally disconnected due to the pro-censorship side coordinating blocks with #fediblock. We call it "The Great Wall of Mastodon." I am also blocked.
   
   I think what's happening right now is culture shock. Your server is federating with both sides, and people are trying to bully you into one side. But if you stick it out, it would help heal the divide on the Fediverse.
   
   I spoke more about the divide here: https://www.heterodorx.com/podcast/episode-69-fediverse-follies-with-alex-gleason/

   New Heterodorx podcast! Episode 69: Fediverse Follies with Alex Gleason https://www.heterodorx.com/podcast/episode-69-fediverse-follies-with-alex-gleason/ @alex

   Where do you go when you get banned by fecebook and twitter – or, conversely, when you think mainstream social media isn’t censoring enough? To the Fediverse, where free-speech refugees and would-be Orwellian dictators form ever-more polarized online communities. Returning Heterodork Alex Gleason, who created the popular Soapbox platform, relates some recent behind-the-scenes Fedi drama. The same tribal politics skewing mainstream social media, guide Fedi developers as well – but with less money! This makes the Fediverse the worst social media system, except for all the others. (Which are so much worse you really should join the Fedi.)
