I am planning to shut down this account and abandon social media for a while.

I have canceled myself to try to help as many as possible lately, and supported everyone against slanderous accusations directed at them.

That ended up with my account being limited on mastodon.social with no notice, no explanation and no appeal, while anonymous genocide denialists, trolls and nasty people who tried to halt fundraising for Gaza are still allowed to act under a blanket of absolute impunity.

I can't even communicate effectively with new accounts in need from Gaza if my profile is hidden on the main instance.

I'll keep cheering for @aral and @joynewacc from the sidelines, they're doing an amazing job, and I'll keep supporting accounts from Gaza, because it's the right thing to do.

Just not here, and away from the spotlights - also for my own safety.

I may be back one day, I don't know if on Nostr, or some other platform that has already taken into account the fact that the admin of the largest instance of a decentralized network can also be an asshole who has the power to cut you from your own network and those you're trying to help, even when you run your own instance.

Adieu.
