   Folks, just a quick warning: If you’re against Israel’s genocide in Gaza, avoid mastodon.online.

   They deleted two of Geri’s posts.

   Geri is a wonderful activist and an inspiration from the UK who has braved arrest to shine a light on Israel’s ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people.

   Do give her a follow on her new account as she lost quite a few followers during the migration.

   Also, to our friends in Gaza, please don’t create accounts on this server.

     So I hasn’t realised that Mastodon GmbH (mastodon.social) also runs mastodon.online.

     This is troubling, to say the least.

     …Not least of all because the same company that runs the largest Mastodon instance runs more than one instance (why?)

     But also the moderation policy that allows for the deletion of people’s posts. (Not even limiting the account or suspending it and asking the person who wrote the post to delete it but moderators outright deleting other people’s posts themselves. That sets a very dangerous precedent.)
