   You really ought to write a blog post on epistemic heuristics and the impact that it has on moderating communities @xaetacore. I've known for a while what it was through observing cause and effect, but never really knew the proper terminology for it until recently. A lot of interactions suddenly made a whole lot of sense afterward in retrospect.

     For example, in this case, "speech" has become action: they are making noise in order to prevent a business from operating.

     This has been my take on it for many decades. Censorship is only useful in theory to the individual if you are part of the party in power and have something to hide. I am skeptical of its utility to humanity as a whole, nature, the gods, logic, wisdom, etc.

     @amerika @xaetacore @Saorsa interesting but i'd have to disagree. there are ways in which it is wrong to speak, e.g. fraud, intimidation, open dishonesty...

     They may want to split the Fediverse into two camps, theirs (which gets the media attention) and non-conformists (who then are marginalized).

     That right there grapples with some uncomfortable truths. Inclusion today is no longer as it was in the early days of the Free and Open Source movement. Instead comes with a lot of asterisks and caveats attached that aren't very inclusive despite otherwise appearing to be on the surface.
     
     Truth of the matter is that the current political climate has over time radicalized and eroded the patience we once had for each other. Leaving many to land on the conclusion that it may honestly be for the best to drop any pretenses of inclusion and equity in favor of tighter in groups that share more in common with you and thus less likely to challenge your beliefs.

     @Saorsa The massive "Us or them Mentality" is a clear result of that political brain rot

     @Saorsa exactly we have been nothing but respectful in every report that was filed against us.
     We have reached out to other instances to help settle disputes.
     
     We discussed the reports on a case to case basis with our staff.
     
     In the other situations we have peer reviewed each other's reports.
     
     We even on an individual level have followed up on reporters to help them with their issue.
     To be labelled an anti moderation instance. After all this effort from our volunteers is insulting. And the unfortunate reality is that if we do not mentioned this from time to time, we will be accused of being something we despise.
     
     We are a new community that federates freely, and that believes everyone should have a place to be themselves.
